Why sad and mournful am I,
My thoughts without ceasing read more

In vain would I seek to discover

From the apple tree fall each day;
The merry breezes approach them,
And with them merrily play.

Flowers, trees, their blossoms don;
And through the blue heavens read more

Sweet May hath come to love us,
Flowers, trees, their blossoms don;
And through the blue heavens above us
The very clouds move on.
