by Robert Reinick (1805 - 1852)

Täubchen im Sonnenschein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Täubchen im Sonnenschein, 
Möcht' mit Euch fliegen, 
Stets so beisammen sein,  
Wohnen in einem Schlag,
Spielen auf einem Dach, 
Welch ein Vergnügen! 

Viel arme Kinderlein 
Habe kein Schwesterlein, 
Habe kein Brüderlein, 
Spielen so ganz, so ganz allein!
