Language: German (Deutsch)

   Maienwind!
   Halt, halt! nicht so geschwind!
Nimmst ja alle Blüthen mir weg,
Das es schneiet auf Weg und Steg,
Wirfst mir ja den Schnee in's Gesicht
Haufenweise, du böser Wicht!
   Maienwind!
   Halt, halt! nicht so geschwind!

   Maienwind!
   Halt, halt! nicht so geschwind!
Fliehn ja alle Vöglein vor Schreck
Tief in den Wald in's sichre Versteck,
Und die zarten Blümlein der Au,
Ach, wie sie zittern schau, o schau!
   Maienwind!
   Halt, halt! nicht so geschwind!

 ...
