In May, the magic month of May,
When all the buds were breaking,
Oh then within my heart
The fires of love awakened.
In May, the magic month of May,
When birds were merry-making,
Oh then I told my darling
Of how my heart was aching.
[Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) 'Im Wunderschönen Monat Ma' {translated from the German by Aaron Kramer}, from Love Songs and Sonnets {Everyman’s Library Pocket Poets}]
