by Friedrich Wilhelm Gotter (1746 - 1797)

Mit der Mutterliebe Schwingen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mit der Mutterliebe Schwingen
Wärmt die Nachtigall ihr Ei;
Männchen fütern sie und singen
Von der Segenskraft im May. 

Schäferinnen, die schon wissen,
Wie so süß Gott Hymen sei,
Singen, Schäfer!  unter Küssen
Von der Segenskraft im May. 

Nur Amyntas sitzt im Schatten
Düsterer Melancholei;
Tröste, Daphne, deinen Gatten,
Schenk' ihm einen Sohn im May; 

Der, von Göttern auserkoren,
Eures Herbstes Wonne sei! 
Cypris war im May geboren,
Und gebar den Sohn im May!
