by (Friedrich) Julius Hammer (1810 - 1862)

Als gestern die Nachtigall
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Als gestern die Nachtigall 
Mein Lied gesungen, 
Da hat der süße Schall  
Die Rosenknospen all' 
Im Hain bezwungen. 

Sie kamen schnell hervor 
Aus ihrer Hülle 
Und lauschten mit leisem Ohr, 
Und blühten sacht empor 
In duft'ger Fülle. 

Mein Herz, von Liebe wund, 
War im Gefange;  
Er that's dem Frühling kund, 
Nach welchem Purpurmund 
Der Sänger bange.
