Bienenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Um die grossen, weissen Dolden
summt es surrend, Bienen fliegen,
und die Leibchen bräunlich golden
sich im Sonnenlichte wiegen.
 
S'ist ein Wispern und ein Schwirren
wie sie wiegend mich um schweben;
wie die Flügelein schillernd flirren;
wie vom eiligen Flug sie beden!
 
In den duft'gen Kelch vergraben,
schlürfen sie Leben und Wonne.
Ach! Könnt'ich vom Mai was haben!
Könnt'ich trinken doch die Sonne!
