Lied im Mai
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ha, die Schwalbe wieder da,
Jubilirend fern und nah;
Bald am blauen Himmelssaum
Bald um trauter Hütten Raum.
Hei, juchhei! 
Jauchzt dem Mai!
Erd' und Himmel wieder neu!

O, wie herrlich doch die Welt,
Grünen Wald und Au und Feld;
Prangen blühend Berg und Tal,
Singen Vöglein überall.
Hei, juchhei! 
Jauchzt dem Mai!
Erd' und Himmel wieder neu!

Erd' und Himmel wieder schön,
Erd' und Himmel noch so schön,
Macht der Mai die Herzen weich,
So die Welt zum Himmelreich.
O, es sei!
Stimmet bei!
Auch die Liebe blühe neu!
