Komm, lieber Mai, und mache Die Bäume wieder grün, Und lass uns an dem Bache Die kleinen Veilchen blühn! Wie möchten wir so gerne Ein Blümchen wieder sehn, Und in die frische Ferne, Ins grüne Freie gehen. Komm, mach es bald gelinder, Dass alles wieder blüht! Dann wird das Flehn der Kinder Ein lautes Jubellied. O komm und bring vor allen Uns viele Rosen mit! Bring auch viel Nachtigallen Und schöne Kuckucks mit!
