Nun grünt der Berg, nun blüht das Tal
  In Maienlust und Duft,
Und Vogelsang und Sonnenstrahl
  Wogt durch die linde Luft.

Was Leben hat, das lobt den Mai
  In Blüten und Gesang,
Komm süsses Lieb, dass nicht uns zwei
  Der Frühling finde krank.

Die liebste Ehr', die ihm geschieht
  Zu dieser schönen Zeit
Ist doch, wenn Aug' in Auge sieht
  Voll stiller Seligkeit.

Vergessen sei des Winters Gram,
Vergessen alles Weh;
Ich denk' nur eins: die Wonne kam,
Dass ich mein Liebchen seh'!

Nun tritt heraus in Maienpracht
Und atme Leben ein;
Sieh' nur wie klar der Frühling lacht
Zutiefst ins Herz hinein.
