But most from her my rapture rises high.

Arnold von Mareuil (about 1200) sings in the same way:

O! how sweet the breeze of April

Breathing soft, as May draws near,

While through nights serene and gentle

Songs of gladness meet the ear.

Every bird his well-known language

Warbling in the morning's pride,

Revelling on in joy and gladness

By his happy partner's side....
