by Ludwig, Edler von Löhner (1812 - 1852), as Ludwig Reland

Schwalbenpost 
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schwalbe, Schwalbe unterm Dache,
heute sollst du Botin sein,
sollst dies gold'ne Ringlein tragen
zu der bösen Liebsten mein.

Schwalbe, willst du Dank verdienen,
musst du's Köpfchen neigen fein,
musst zur demutsvollen Botschaft
scharren mit dem Füßchen klein.

Schwalbe, hast du's auserzählet,
fliege fort, lass sie allein,
denn es wollen Mädchen immer
ihre eig'nen Boten sein.
