Die Bächlein, die fliessen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Bächlein, die fließen 
Bei Nacht und bei Tag, 
Die Veilchen, die sprießen 
Im Busch und im Hag.   

Die Bächlein, die kommen 
Am Ende in's Meer, 
Die Veilchen, die frommen, 
Verblassen so sehr. 

Ich muß an Dich denken 
Im Feld und im Wald;
Will Gott Dich mir schenken, 
So thu er's nur bald. 

Confirmed with Lyrisches Album aus dem Lahngau, ed. by Dr Paul Wigand, Gießen: J. Ricker'sche Buchhandlung, 1858, page 232. Appears in Bunter Liederkranz.
