Grün ist der Jasminenstrauch Abends eingeschlafen, Als ihn mit des Morgens Hauch [Sonnenlichter]1 trafen, Ist er schneeweiß aufgewacht: "Wie geschah mir in der Nacht?" Seht, so geht es Bäumen, Die im Frühling träumen.

3. Der Lenz [sung text not yet checked]
Der Lenz ist angekommen!
Habt ihr es nicht vernommen?
Es sagen's euch die Vögelein,
Es sagen's euch die Blümelein:
Der Lenz ist angekommen!
Ihr seht es an den Feldern,
Ihr [seht es an]1 den Wäldern;
Der Kukuk ruft, der Finke schlagt,
Es jubelt was sich froh bewegt:
Der Lenz ist angekommen!
Hier, Blümlein auf der Haide,
Dort, Schäflein auf der Weide.
Ach! seht doch, wie sich Alles freut.
Es hat die Welt sich schön [verneut]1.
Der Lenz ist angekommen.
Authorship
- possibly by Christian August Vulpius (1762 - 1827), "Mailied", appears in Frau Holda Waldina, die wilde Jägerin [author's text checked 2 times against a primary source]

View original text (without footnotes)Confirmed with Christian August Vulpius, Frau Holda Waldina, die wilde Jägerin, Arnstadt und Rudolstadt: Langbein und Klüger, 1805, pages 237 - 238. Appears in viertes Buch. Because it appears in a novel, it may or may not be by Christian Vulpius (that is, it may have been an unattributed quotation of a poem popular at the time). The poem was also published in 1811 without a title as "ein altes Volkslied" in the article "Frau Venus und ihr Hof im Venusberge" in the journal Curiositäten by Vulpius, and reprinted in 1833 in Die Volkslieder der Deutschen with the variant "erneut" in verse 14.
