Jede Jahreszeit
Language: German (Deutsch)
Jede Jahreszeit
Hat ihr Freud' und Leid;
Mai ist schön, doch hat er falschen Sinn.
Darum Juni mein
Sollst willkommen sein,
Nun die weißen Blüten sind dahin.
Wenn die Stralen glühn,
Ruht sich's gut im Grün,
Wo der Vogel pfeift im Walde frei;
Unter'm Schattendach
Denkt die Seele nach,
Wird auch fröhlich und gesund dabei.

Every time of year
Has its joy and sorrow;
May is beautiful, but it has a false demeanor.
Therefore my June,
You shall be welcomed,
Now that the white blossoms are gone.
When the sunbeams burn down,
It is good to rest in the greenery,
Where the bird whistles freely in the forest;
Under the shading canopy
The soul ponders many things,
And thereby becomes joyful and healthy.
