Auf dem Schiffe See original
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ein Vögelein Fliegt über den Rhein Und wiegt die Flügel Im Sonnenschein, Sieht Rebenhügel Und grüne Flut In goldner Glut. -- Wie wohl das tut, So hoch erhoben Im Morgenhauch! Beim Vöglein droben, O wär' ich auch!
Note: in Lang's song, line 3 word 2 ("wiegt") becomes "wieget" in the repetition.
