Der Schäfer im Mai
 (Sung text for setting by O. Nicolai)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Siehst du das Vögelein 
  nisten im Wald? 
Willst du mein Weibchen sein? 
  Werd' es doch bald!

Blumen allüberall, 
  Thauig und mild:  
Höre, die Nachtigall 
  Singt im Gefild! 

Früh, wenn der Morgen graut, 
  Treibe ich aus,
Bringe der lieben Braut
  Blumen zum Strauß.

Liebchen im Wiesenthal 
  Harret auf mich:
Pfingsten wird auch einmal, 
  Bräut'gam bin ich!

Composition:

    Set to music by (Carl) Otto Ehrenfried Nicolai (1810 - 1849), "Der Schäfer im Mai", op. 3 no. 1, confirmed with Meine Lieder, 1861, Berlin
