by Franz Alfred Muth (1839 - 1890)

Einsames Vöglein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Einsames Vöglein 
Trüb in dem Bauer, 
Einsames Herz, ach, 
So voller Trauer! 

Kannst du nicht heben 
Leise die Schwingen, 
Kannst du nicht leben 
Ohne zu singen? 

Seele und Vöglein 
Können nur sehnen, 
Seele und Vöglein 
Haben nur Thränen.
