by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Immer treibt's den Vogel wieder
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Immer treibt's den Vogel wieder
In ein sommerliches Land;
Dort nur singt er seine Lieder,
Wo er seinen Frühling fand.

Ich auch eil' auf [Sehnsuchtschwingen]1
Immer meinem Frühling zu:
Nur im Frühling kann ich singen
Und mein Frühling bist nur Du.
