by Friedrich von Matthisson (1761 - 1831)

Mailied
 (Sung text for setting by J. Reichardt)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Freude jubelt; Liebe waltet;
Auf! beginnt den Maientanz!
Das Geblüm der Wies' entfaltet 
Täglich schöner sich zum Kranz.
In des Forst geheimer Dichte
Girrt und flötet Minnelaut;
Unterm Grün, im Abendlichte,
Kosen Bräutigam und Braut.

Bäll' und Opern freun den Städter,
Assembleen die Städterin:
Uns entzückt der Frühlingsäther,
Uns der Haine Baldachin.
Krönt der frohen Weisheit Becher!
Horcht der Wipfel Silberschall!
Webt verschwiegne Blätterdächer!
Ruht auf Moos' am Wasserfall!

 ...
