När den sköna Maj med sippor kommit,
Kransa tärnor sina bruna lockar, 
Skyndande till ringdans kring sin Maj-stång.
Under dansen äro alla glada.
Glad är den, som bär ett vackert smycke,
Glad är den, hvars blomsterkrans är lyckad,
Glad är den, som känner kinden rodna.
Frågar du, hvem gladast är af alla? 
Den, som ser sin fästman med i ringen.
