by Friedrich Hermann Frey (1839 - 1911), as Martin Greif

Maienfrühe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn am feuchten 
Maienmorgen 
Wälder leuchten
Und die Wiesen
Zwischen diesen
Sprühn im Tau:

Welche Wonne,
Eh' die Schatten 
Vor der Sonne 
Noch entweichen,
Sacht zu streichen 
Durch die Au.

Confirmed with Gedichte von Martin Greif, Sechste, reich vermehrte Auflage, Leipzig, C. F. Amelangs Verlag, 1895, page 16.
