by Jens Peter Jacobsen (1847 - 1885)
Translation by Marie von Borch (1853 - 1895)

Im Mai da führ ich heim die Braut
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Danish (Dansk) 
Im Mai da führ ich heim die Braut,
Eine Rose rot, eine Lilie traut,
He, Spielmann, spiel!
Dann soll der Wald sich schmücken grün,
Im Feld soll Blum' an Blume stehn,
Der Vollmond soll die Welt durchziehn,
Die Sonn' will strahlend heiß ich sehn.
Der Kuckuck ruft hinaus ins Land,
Daß ich mein goldnes Glück nun fand,
Doch die Sorge, die bleibt fein zu Haus.
