Det är fägringsens tid, det är vår, det är maj, det är grönska och strålande sol. Under bugande björkarnas ljusgröna svaj knoppas liljekonvalj och viol. Och de bära i ljuvliga dofter sitt lov, medan fåglarna sjunga i dur till den härskares pris, som har grundat sitt hov ibland alar och susande fur. Sitt då icke och grubbla din glädje ihjäl, gå med brusande bäckar i takt ut i våren och låt den få lyfta din själ med sin stora, oändliga makt!
