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 Lieb' gefunden,
Ihr mögt wol fröhlich sein.

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

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

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

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