An die Biene
 (Sung text for setting by K. Reinecke)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Summ, summ, summ!
Bienchen summ herum!
Ei, wir tun dir nichts zuleide,
Flieg nur aus in Wald und Heide!
Summ, summ, summ!
Bienchen summ herum!

Summ, summ, summ!
Bienchen summ herum!
Such in Blüten, such in Blümchen
Dir ein Tröpfchen, dir ein Krümchen
Summ, summ, summ!
Bienchen summ herum!

Summ, summ, summ!
Bienchen summ herum!
Kehre heim mit reicher Habe,
Bau uns manche volle Wabe,
Summ, summ, summ!
Bienchen summ herum!
