4. Gekommen ist der Maie [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Gekommen ist der [Maye]1, Die Blumen und Bäume blühn, Und durch [die Himmelsbläue]2 Die [rosigen]3 Wolken ziehn. Die [Nachtigallen]4 singen Herab aus [der laubigen]5 Höh, Die weißen Lämmer springen Im weichen grünen Klee. [Ich kann nicht singen und springen]6, Ich liege krank im Gras; Ich höre fernes Klingen, Mir träumt, ich weiß nicht was.

Aus meinen großen Schmerzen Mach' ich die kleinen Lieder; Die heben ihr klingend Gefieder Und flattern nach ihrem Herzen. Sie fanden den Weg zur Trauten, Doch kommen sie wieder und klagen, Und klagen, und wollen nicht sagen, Was sie im Herzen schauten.
