Dort sind wir her
 (Sung text for setting by F. Abt)
 See base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Blümchen, du holdes, wie prangst du so schön!
Blümchen, woher?
"Engelein trugen mich von den Höh'n,
Fort wo leuchtet die Sonne so schön,
Dort bin ich her, dort bin ich her."

 ... 

Vöglein du liebes, wie singst du so fein,
Vöglein, woher?
"Hab' es gelernt von den Engelein,
Singen im Himmel die Melodein,
Dort bin ich her, dort bin ich her."

Lüftchen du sanftes, wie wehst du so weich:
Lüftchen, woher?
"Wenn ich am Morgen vorüber schleich',
Kommen wir alle vom Himmelreich,
Dort sind wir her, dort sind wir her."
