Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - May Song
Work rating: Low

How fair doth Nature

Appear again!
How bright the sunbeams!

How smiles the plain!

The flow`rs are bursting

From ev`ry bough,
And thousand voices

Each bush yields now.

And joy and gladness

Fill ev`ry breast!
Oh earth!—oh sunlight!

Oh rapture blest!

Oh love! oh loved one!

As golden bright,
As clouds of morning

On yonder height!

Thou blessest gladly

The smiling field,—
The world in fragrant

Vapour conceal`d.

Oh maiden, maiden,

How love I thee!
Thine eye, how gleams it!

How lov`st thou me!

The blithe lark loveth

Sweet song and air,
The morning flow`ret

Heav`n`s incense fair,

As I now love thee

With fond desire,
For thou dost give me

Youth, joy, and fire,

For new-born dances

And minstrelsy.
Be ever happy,

As thou lov`st me!
