      The May night was lovely,

      Silver clouds flew,

      Joyfully drawn by the lovely spring splendor.

      Meadows and groves lay slumbering,

      Every path deserted;

      No one but the moonlight

      Waited on the streets.

      Only the breeze spoke softly,

      And it passed more gently

      Through the quiet bedroom

      Of all the children of spring.

      Only the stream crept secretly,

      For the dreams of the flowers

      Smelled so blissfully

      Through the quiet rooms.

      My postilion was rougher,

      He cracked his whip,

      His horn rang out freshly over hill and valley.

      And four hooves of nimble horses

      Clapped,

      Which trotted through the blooming area

      with pleasure.


      Forest and field in rapid procession

      Hardly greeted - avoided;

      And gone, like a dream,

      The villages' peace vanished.

      In the midst of the May happiness

      There was a churchyard inside,

      Which kept the quick wandering gaze

      in serious contemplation.

      Leaning against the mountain edge

      Was the pale wall,

      And the image of God's cross stood

      High, in silent mourning.

      Brother-in-law rode on his path

      Quieter now and more gloomy;

      And he stopped his horses,

      Looked over to the cross:

      "Horse and wheel must stop here,

      Don't let it endanger you:

      Over there lies my comrade

      In the cool earth!

      A very dear fellow!

      Sir, it's such a pity!

      No one blew the horn as loudly

      As my comrade!

      Here I must always stop,

      To blow his favorite song for the man there under the grass

      As a faithful brotherly greeting!«

      And he sent to the churchyard

      Happy wandering songs,

      So that they might bring his brother to rest in his grave.

      And the bright sound of the horn

      Resounded again from the mountain,

      Whether the dead postilion

      Sang in his songs.–

      On we went through field and hedge

      With the reins hanging;

      For a long time the sound from the hill lingered in my ears.

        Wonderful floodplain area through which the Great Tullnerfeld circular hiking trail 675 leads.
