by (Agnes) Mathilde Wesendonck, née Luckemeyer (1828 - 1902)

Als sängen tausend Vögelein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Als sängen tausend Vögelein
  In meiner Brust,
So klang es aus der Seele mein
  In Liebeslust.
Nun sind sie fortgeflogen
  Die lieben Vögelein,
Sind alle weggezogen
  Und ließen mich allein.
