by Ernst Heinrich Meier (1813 - 1866), as Ernst Minneburg

Ich hört' ein Vöglein singen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich hört' ein Vöglein singen, 
Wohl singen im grünen Wald; 
Es sang' so leis, es sang' so fein,  
Es sang' von meinem Lieb' allein 
Im Wald, im grünen Wald.  

Ich hört' ein Bächlein rauschen, 
Wohl rauschen im tiefen Thal;  
Es rauscht so leis, es rauscht so fein, 
Und grüßt mich von der Liebsten mein 
Viel tausend, tausend Mal.  

Ich hört' ein Lüftlein flüstern, 
Wohl flüstern im Blüthenbusch; 
Es flüstert leis, es flüstert fein:   
"Es wartet hier die Liebste Dein 
Im schönen Blüthenbusch."
