by Marie Laura Förster (1817 - 1856), as Maria Jäger

Vorüber der Mai, die selige Zeit
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Vorüber der Mai, die [selige]1 Zeit,
[Vorüber das sonnige]2 Glück!
Und [ach, von der blühenden]3 Herrlichkeit
Was blieb Dir im Herzen zurück?

[O zog aus den Düften, dem]4 Sonnenschein,
Aus Blumen und [Vogelgesang]5
Ins [Herz Dir die junge, die]6 Liebe hinein,
Die all diesen Jubel [durchklang]7?

[Und]8 fühlst Du, ob außen das Glück vorbei,
Ob [Blüt' auf Blüte]9 entschwebt,
[O fühlst Du, daß dennoch die Seele]10 des Mai
Allewig [in Deiner noch]11 lebt?
