Besides this May
We know
There is Another —
How fair
Our Speculations of the Foreigner!
Some know Him whom We knew —
Sweet Wonder —
A Nature be
Where Saints, and our plain going Neighbor
Keep May!

Nebst diesem Mai
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the English
Nebst diesem Mai
ist uns
ein weiterer bekannt -
wie schön,
zu rätseln über diesen Fremden!
Mancher, den wir kannten, erfährt
als süßes Wunder ihn -
Eine Natur ist gleichfalls dort,
wo Heilige und unser schlichter Nachbar
den Mai begehn!
