Den mei sal lustich groejen 
voor soete liefs vensterkijn; 
mijn hert sal van rosen bloejen
wel om de liefste mijn.

Den coelen wijn wil ic drinken 
en drinken ter eer van haer. 
ic wil mijns liefs ghedinken 
so waer ic ben ende vaer. 
 
Ic wil in vrouden springhen, 
vergheten al druc en pijn, 
want heden mach ic singhen:
mijn soete lief is mijn!

Collected by A. H. Hoffmann von Fallersleben in Horae Belgicae
