Maria, Maienkönigin!
   Dich will der Mai begrüßen,
O segne seinen Anbeginn,
   Und uns zu Deinen Füßen.

Maria! Dir befehlen wir,
   Was grünt und blüht auf Erden,
O laß es eine Himmelszier
   In Gottes Garten werden.

Behüte uns mit treuem Fleiß,
   O Königin der Frauen!
Die Herzenblüthen lilienweiß
   Auf grüen Maiesauen.
