Im Maien
 (Sung text for setting by B. Randhartinger)

 ... 

Im Maien, im Maien
Singen alle Vögelein;
Es macht ihr heller Freudenmund
Viel süße Herzensräthsel kund
Im Maien.

 ... 

Im Maien, im Maien,
Da ging ein holdes Kind;
Das hat gelernt den Wonneschall
Von Lerche, Fink und Nachtigall
Im Maien.

Im Maien, im Maien,
O süßer, süßer Klang!
O süße Liebe, süße Maid!
Kläng's lieb, lieb, lieb in Ewigkeit
Im Maien.
