from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Storch, Storch, Schnibel, Schnabel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Storch, Storch, Schnibel, Schnabel, 
Mit der langen Heugabel, 
Mit den langen Beinen! 
Wenn die Sonn' thut scheinen, 
Steht er auf dem Kirchendach, 
Klappert, klappert bis Alles wacht. 
Storch hat sich auf's Nest gestellt, 
Guckt herab auf Dorf und Feld:
"Wird bald Ostern sein?
Kommt hervor, ihr Blümelein,
Komm hervor, du grünes Gras,
Komm herein, du Osterhas,
Komm fein bald und fehl' mir nit,
Bring' auch deine Eier mit."
