Geburtstagslied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie soll ich es nur sagen, 
was mir das Herz erfüllt;
das Herz, das stets getragen
dein teures liebes Bild.

Mein Wunsch zum heut'gen Fesse ist, 
dass, von Sorgen frei, 
geweiht dem Ideale,
dein Leben glücklich sei.

O sieh', wir lieben dich alle
Und rufen zu dir laut:
Mög'stete Freud' dir werden
Und Glück sei dir vertraut!
