Der Maien ist gestorben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Der Maien ist gestorben 
In seiner Blütenpracht!
Er hauchte aus sein Leben
In dieser lauen Nacht!

Ich sah ihn ungern sterben!
Ich hatte ihn so lieb
Mit seinem süßen Zauber
Und zarten Blütentrieb.

Und als von Wehmut weinte
Mein Herz ob dem Verlust,
Hab ich den Mai begraben
In meiner tiefsten Brust.

Und wenn die kalten Winde
Im Winter mich umwehn,
Dann wird in meinem Herzen
Der Maien auferstehn.
