by Carl Siebel (1836 - 1868)

Am Spinnrad
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich sitze am Fenster und träume,
  Streu' Flocken in den Wind,
Die blauen Schwalben fliegen 
  Geschäftig und geschwind.

Die weissen Flocken haschen 
  Sie eilig auf im Flug,
Jed' Schwälblein seine Beute 
  Zum stillen Neste trug.

Glück zu ihr blauen Schwalben,
  Geschäftig und geschwind.
Ich sitze am Fenster und träume,
  Streu' Flocken in den Wind!
