by Richard Wagner (1813 - 1883)

Geburtsangrüß an Cosima
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sagt mir, Kinder,
Was blüht am Maitag?
Die Rose, die Rose
Die Ros' im Mai.

Kinder, wißt ihr auch
Was blüht im Weinacht?
Die Kose, die Kose
Die kosende Mama
Die Cosima.

Vervelkt es auch die Maitagsrose
neu erblüht sie
in der Weinacht Schoße
Ros' im Mai, 
Co-si-ma,
Allerliebste, allerschönste
Cosima.
