by Franz Alfred Muth (1839 - 1890)

Maitag
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Zweige wieder schießen, 
Der Himmel sonnig blaut, 
Die Erde still zu grüßen, 
Die nun des Maien Braut. 
Es blüht der Wald, es blüht das Feld, 
Zum Paradiese wird die Welt 
Im Maien.

Durch jedes Fenster steigen 
Die warmen Lüfte ein, 
Die Blumen still sich neigen 
Im gold'nen Sonnenschein. 
Zum Herzen zieht der Herrgott ein, 
Daß es voll Grün und Sonnenschein 
Im Maien.

Confirmed with Franz Alfred Muth, Waldblumen. Lieder, Frankfurt am Main: Verlag von G.J. Hamacher, 1872, page 7.
