by Ulrich von Lichtenstein (1200? - 1275?)
Translation by Will Vesper (1882 - 1962)

Ein Tanzwîse, diu niunzehende
Language: Mittelhochdeutsch 
In dem luftesüezem meien,
Sô der walt gekleidet stât,
Sô siht man sich schône zweien
Allez, daz iht liebes hât,
Unde ist mit ein ander vrô.
Daz ist reht, diu zît will sô.

Swâ sich liep ze liebe zweiet,
Hôl;hen muot diu liebe gît.
In der beider herzen meiet
ez mit vreuden alle zît. 
Trûrens wil diu lieben niht,  
Swâ man liep bî liebe siht. 

Swâ zwei liep ein ander meinent
Herzenlîchen âne wanc
Und sich beidiu sô vereinent,
Dâz ir liebe ist âne kranc, 
Diu hât got zesamne geben
Ûf ein wunneclîchez leben.

Confirmed with Ulrich von Lichtenstein, Vrouwen Dienest / Frauendienst, zweiter Theil, ed. by Reinhold Bechstein, Leipzig: F. A. Brockhaus, 1888. Appears at the beginning of Lied no. XXVIII, page 150 - 151.

In der Luft des süßen Maien
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Mittelhochdeutsch 
In der Luft des süßen Maien
wenn der Wald gekleidet steht,
so sieht man zu zweien reihen
alles, was in Liebe geht,
und ist miteinander froh.
Das ist recht; die Zeit will so.
