by Julius Karl Reinhold Sturm (1816 - 1896)

Der Kuckuck hat ein einzig Lied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Der Kuckuck hat ein einzig Lied
Auf seinen Schatz erdacht,
Das wird er nicht zu singen müd
Von früh bis in die Nacht.

Sein Schätzlein sitzt auf grünem Zweig
Hört unermüdlich zu,
Und denkt, es singt im ganzen Reich
Doch Keiner wie mein Kucku.
