by Wilhelm Wackernagel (1806 - 1869)

So singet und so springet
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
So singet und so springet,
Ihr kleinen Waldvöglein:
Ihr habt [eur]1 Lieb' gefunden,
Ihr mögt wol fröhlich sein.

Einsam in meiner Kammer
Halt [ich]2 stille Wacht.
Der Lenz ist gekommen,
Mir hat er nichts gebracht.

[Laß blühen]3 und verblühen
Den [rothen Rosenhag]4!
Was sollen mir alle Blumen,
Die ich nicht brechen mag?

Froh wär ich so gerne,
Ich weine nach der Lust,
[Mir]5 möchte zerspringen
Das [Herz]6 in der Brust.

Geschlagen ist mein Herze
In eiserne Bande drei:
Hätt ich ein Lieb gefunden,
Sie brächen all entzwei.
