Noch klingt über blühende Gärten Helljubelnder Lerchenschlag -- Ich wollt, er wär erst vorüber, Der leuchtende Frühlingstag. Ich mag von dem Singen nichts hören, Mich blendet die Blütenpracht, Mein jauchzendes Glück wohnt im Schatten Der seligen Maiennacht. O dort, in verschwiegner Stille Das Plätzchen, so heimlich traut, Berauschender duftet der Flieder, Von Tränen und Nacht betaut. Violen und Balsaminen Öffnen die Kelche weit – Zwei Menschenkinder versinken In Wonne und Seligkeit. Noch klingt über blühende Gärten Helljubelnder Lerchenschlag -- Ich wollt, er wär erst vorüber, Der leuchtende Frühlingstag!

Above blooming gardens there still sounds The throbbing of brightly rejoicing larks -- I wish it were already over, The radiant spring day. I do not like to hear anything of the singing, I am bedazzled by the flowery splendour; My exulting happiness lives in the shadows Of the blessed May night. Oh there, in secret silence, Is the place, so dearly familiar; The lilac pours forth its scent more intoxicatingly, Bedewed by tears and night. Violas and yellow balsam Open wide their calyces -- Two humans sink down In joy and bliss. Above blooming gardens there still sounds The throbbing of brightly rejoicing larks -- I wish it were already over, The radiant spring day.
