The Linden Trees Are Blooming!

A mediaeval love poem by Walther von der Vogelweide (c. 1170–c. 1230)

Under der linden an der heide, dâ unser zweier bette was, dâ mugt ir vinden schône beide gebrochen bluomen unde gras. vor dem wald in einem tal, tandaradei, schône sanc diu nahtegal.

Under the linden tree on the open field, where we two had our bed, you still can see lovely both broken flowers and grass. On the edge of the woods in a vale, tandaradei, sweetly sang the nightingale. (as excerpted from Wikipedia on Linden Trees)
