Winterstürme wichen dem Wonnemond.The link I'm giving above is to a concert version—I didn't like the staged versions I found on YouTube because I did not like the staging (or the tenor's knödeln—seeming to press and sing through his nose). Instead, I show below part of the panel depicting the scene in P. Craig Russell's graphic retelling of the opera.
In mildem Lichte leuchtet der Lenz...
Winter storms gave way to the Month of Joy.
Spring glows in a soft light...

Thanks for this, Ulrich. Happy May Day to you two, too.
What a lovely and inventive way to begin the month of May, but where's our word of the month?
@fikink and Heika: Thank you! As to the WoM, it's coming--I just have to make up my mind...
