by Oscar (Friedrich Julius Valentin) von Warkotsch (1827 - c1874)

Ich möchte die Vöglein herzen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich möchte die Vöglein herzen 
Wohl in dem grünen Hain, 
Weil sie mir Ruhe sangen 
In's wilder Herz hinein.

Ich möchte die Blumen danken 
Mit meinem schönsten Lied, 
Weil wie ein Himmelsodem 
Ihr Duft mein Herz durchzieht. 

Doch dich, dich möcht ich küssen 
Auf deinen rothen Mund, 
Weil ich durch deine Liebe 
Zur Stunde war gesund.

Confirmed with Oscar von Warkotsch, Gedichte, Berlin: J. Bachmann, 1858, page 23. Appears in Eine Herzensgeschichte.
