1. Die Maiennacht  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Leise wehen Frühlingslüfte
Durch die ruhende Natur, 
Und es strömen süße Düfte 
Her und Feld und Wald und Flur. 
Alles harrt in tiefem Schweigen, 
Alle Blüthen still sich neigen, 
Nur die Blätter flüstern sacht: 
Maiennacht, Maiennacht.  

Still auf uns herniederblinken 
Tausend Sterne hell und klar; 
So viel Kerzen, die uns winken 
An dem großen Weltaltar.
Ruh' ist oben, Ruh' hienieden, 
Alles fühlet Gottesfrieden, 
Alles fühlet deine Macht, 
Maiennacht, Maiennacht!
