by Heinrich Leuthold (1827 - 1879)

Waldvögelein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Waldvögelein, wohin ziehst du?
Nach Süden möcht' ich mit dir!
Waldvögelein, was fliehst du?
Fliehst du vor mir?

Waldesgrün, gleich wie du,
Lieb ich und Sonnenschein,
Bin arm und doch reich wie du
Waldvögelein!

Wie du empfing auch ich
Wohllaut und Melodein,
Frei, ohne Sold sing auch ich,
Waldvögelein!

Hüpfst du durch Busch und Strauch,
Hast weder Rast noch Ruh,
Hab' keine Heimat auch,
Bin unstät wie du!
