by Franz Joseph (Xaver) von Königsbrun-Schaup (1857 - 1916)

Der Kuckuck ruft
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Kuckuck ruft: kuku, kuku!
Mein Börslein [schüttle]1 ich dazu;
Die Nachtigall singt [auch im]2 Hain,
Ich denke an ein [Mädel]3 fein.

Ihr guten Vöglein, helft geschwind,
Bin ein [verlassen]4 Sonntagskind:
Herr Kuckuck, meine Schulden zahl',
O mach mich jung, Frau Nachtigall!
