O süßer Mai See original
Language: German (Deutsch)
O süßer Mai, Der Strom ist frei, Ich steh verschlossen, Mein Aug' verdrossen, Ich seh nicht deine grüne Tracht, Nicht deine buntgeblümte Pracht, Nicht dein Himmelblau, Zur Erd' ich schau; O süßer Mai, Mich lasse frei, Wie den Gesang An den dunklen Hecken entlang.
