Als alle Vögel sangen,
Da ist meinem Herzen
Die Liebe aufgegangen.

Im wunderschönen Monat Mai,
Als alle Knospen sprangen,
Da hab' ich ihr gestanden
Mein Sehnen und Verlangen.

Wenn zwei voneinander scheiden,
So so geben sie sich die Händ
Und fangen an zu weinen,
Und seufzen ohne End.

Wir haben nicht geweinet,
Wir seufzten nicht Weh und Ach!
Die Tränen und die Seufzer,
Die kamen hintennach.
