  Wie herrlich leuchtet
Mir die Natur!
Wie glänzt die Sonne!
Wie lacht die Flur!

  Es dringen Blühten
Aus jedem Zweig
Und tausend Stimmen
Aus dem Gesträuch,

  Und Freud und Wonne
Aus jeder Brust.
O Erd', o Sonne!
O Glück, o Lust!

  O Lieb', o Liebe! 
So golden schön,
Wie Morgenwolken
Auf jenen Höhn!

  Du segnest herrlich
Das frische Feld,
Im Blütendampfe
Die volle Welt.

Canzone di maggio

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Anthes)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Come brilla 
stupenda la natura!
Splende il sole, 
ride il campo!

Nascono gemme 
da ogni ramo
e mille voci 
dai cespugli,

e gioia e voluttà 
da ogni petto.
O terra, o sole!
Felicità, piacere!

Amore, amore!
Bellezza d'oro,
come nubi mattutine
su quei colli!

Benedici divino
il giovane campo,
con alito di primavera 
tutto il mondo.
