by Wilhelm Hensel (1765 - 1836)

Am Maienfeste
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Gärtnerbursche hat gepflanzet
Grüne Kräuter mannigfalt;
Müllerbursche hält umschanzet
Dich mit grünen Maienwald.
Doch am grünen Maienfeste
Bring vom Grünen ich das Beste!
 
Sieh' wie an des Hauses Schwelle
Hier die schlanke Tanne lauscht
Und vor deiner trauten Zelle
Liebensmelodien rauscht;
Blume schweigt im Staube lebend,
Tanne singt sich stolz erhebend.
 
Und der hohen Tanne Liebchen
Gleicht der grüne Waidgesell.
Tritt heraus aus deinem Stübchen
Dann die Zweige senkt sie schnell,
Mit der Arme grünen Ringen
Dich weiss Röslein zu umschlingen.
