by Adelheid (Humperdinck) Wette (1858 - 1916)

Das Waldvöglein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Das Vöglein singt am Waldessaum:
Wiwit, wiwit, wiwit!
Wie klingt es hell im weiten Raum:
Komm mit, komm mit, komm mit!
O Vöglein du, so liederfroh,
lockst du dem lieben Weibchen so?
Wiwit komm mit, komm mit!
Wiwit komm mit, komm mit!

Auch mir scholl einst zur Maienzeit
wiwit, wiwit, wiwit!
die Stimme voller Seligkeit:
Komm mit, komm mit, komm mit!
Noch immer mir im Ohre schallt der Klang,
zu bald nur, ach, verhallt:
Wiwit komm mit, komm mit!
Wiwit komm mit, komm mit!

Nun wieder schmückt sich Flur und Hain,
wiwit, wiwit, wiwit!
Und alles lockt mit buntem Schein:
Komm mit, komm mit, komm mit!
Und jubelnd alles tanzt und reigt,
nur die geliebte Stimme schweigt.
Wiwit komm mit, komm mit!
Wiwit komm mit, komm mit!
