Nun aber hebt zu singen an Der Mai mit seinen Winden. Wohl dem, der suchen gehen kann Und bunte Blumen finden! Die Schönheit steigt millionenfach Empor aus schwarzer Erden; Manch eingekümmert Weh und Ach Mag nun vergessen werden. Denn dazu ist der Mai gemacht, Daß er uns lachen lehre. Die Herzen hoch! Und fortgelacht Des Grames Miserere!
Confirmed with Otto Julius Bierbaum, Der neubestellte Irrgarten der Liebe um etliche Gänge und Lauben vermehrt, Leipzig: Insel-Verlag, MCMXXIII (1923), page 292.

Mais aujourd'hui, il commence à chanter, Le mois de mai avec ses vents. Heureux celui qui peut aller chercher Et trouver des fleurs de toutes couleurs. La beauté jaillit mille fois De la noire terre ; Bien des maux et des plaintes Peuvent maintenant être oubliés. Car le mois de mai est ainsi fait Qu'il nous apprend à rire. Haut les cœurs ! Et rions encore Miserere du chagrin !
