by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Vöglein, was singst du im Lenze so weich
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Vöglein, was singst du im Lenze so weich;
rufst deinem Liebchen, dein Liebchen kommt gleich!
Kommt weit vom Süden, dem schönen blauen,
und will bei dir sein Nestchen bauen.

Du meine Seele, was singst du? Wohl,
dass auch dein Liebchen zu dir kommen soll,
sich mit dir labe im Frühlingsschimmer?
Treue Seele! Dein Lieb kommt nimmer.
