Mailied / May song (1835)
op.41,5
( Der Schnee zerrinnt, der Mai beginnt ; The snow doth melt when May is felt ; Pflückt einen Kranz und haltet Tanz ; Come bring romance, come sing and dance ; Wer weiss, wie bald die Glocke schallt ; The tolling bell will soon foretell ; Drum werdet froh, Gott will es so ; Our songs of joy we now employ )
