possibly by Fr. Lange

Siehst du das Vögelein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Siehst du das Vögelein 
  nisten im Wald? 
Willst du mein Weibchen sein? 
  Werd' es doch bald!

Blumen allüberall, 
  Thauig und frisch:  
Höre, die Nachtigall 
  Singt im Gebüsch! 

Früh, wenn der Morgen graut, 
  Treibe ich aus,
Suche der lieben Braut
  Blumen zum Strauß.

Liebchen im Wiesenthal 
  Harret auf mich:
Pfingsten wird auch einmal, 
  Bräut'gam bin ich!
