by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Klinget, Maienglöckchen, klinget
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Klinget, Maienglöckchen, klinget,
Daß der Frühling bald erwacht,
Daß er Blüth' und Blumen bringet,
Lange Tag und kurze Nacht;

Daß sich aus der Knospe jede
Blüthe sehnt an's Sonnenlicht,
Antwort giebt auf jede Rede,
Die zu ihr der Sänger spricht.
