Jede Jahreszeit

Jede Jahreszeit Hat ihr Freud' und Leid; Mai ist schön, doch hat er falschen Sinn. Darum Juni mein Sollst willkommen sein, Nun die weißen Blüten sind dahin. Wenn die Stralen glühn, Ruht sich's gut im Grün, Wo der Vogel pfeift im Walde frei; Unter'm Schattendach Denkt die Seele nach, Wird auch fröhlich und gesund dabei.
