Gekommen ist der Maie, Die Blumen und Bäume blühn, Und durch die Himmelsbläue Die ros'gen Wolken ziehn. Die lust'gen Vöglein singen Herab aus luftiger Höh, Die weißen Lämmer springen Im weichen grünen Klee. Doch ich kann nicht springen und singen, Ich liege krank im Gras; Ich höre fernes Klingen, Mir träumt, ich weiß nicht was.

May has come, The flowers and the trees blossom, And through the blue of heaven The rosy clouds travel. The merry birdlets are singing Down from the airy heights, The white lambs are leaping about In the soft green clover. But I cannot leap and sing, Ill I lie in the grass; I hear a distant ringing, I am dreaming I know not what.
