Schwalbenmütterlein! Schwalbenmütterlein!
Wie hast du lieb deine Gelbschnäblein!
Fliegst niemals aus,
Daß du nicht fingest
Ein Mückchen zum Schmaus;
Fliegst niemals aus,
Daß du nicht bringest
Deinem Kindlein das Mückchen nach Haus.
Schwalbenmütterlein! Schwalbenmütterlein!
Wie hast du lieb deine Gelbschnäblein!
