by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ein Vöglein singt im Wald, Singt Lieb' und Leiden, Ich weine für mich hin - Du willst ja scheiden. Viel Rosen blühen roth, Ich pflücke keine - Brauch weder Schmuck noch Zier, So ganz alleine. Hab' dich so lieb gehabt Und willst doch wandern, Suchst nun dein' Fröhlichkeit, Dein Glück bei Andern.
