by Adolf Schults (1820 - 1858)

Maienlilie, kannst Du sagen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Maienlilie, kannst Du sagen,
Warum Du mußt Glöcklein tragen? 
"König Mai wird kommen heute,
Und ich muß es mit Geläute
Alle Blumen eilig künden
In den Wädern, in den Gründen,
Daß sie mögen blühend [stehen]1,
Wenn er wird [vorübergehen]2!"
