by Johann Ludwig Uhland (1787 - 1862)

Was streift vorbei im Dämmerlicht?
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Was streift vorbei im Dämmerlicht?
War's nicht mein holdes Kind?
Und wehten aus dem Körbchen nicht
Die Rosendüfte lind?

Ja, morgen ist das Maienfest!
O morgen welche Lust!
Wann sie sich glänzend schauen läßt,
Die Röslein an der Brust.
