by Johannes Staub (1813 - 1880), as Hans Lebrecht

Was singet so lieblich, was jauchzet so...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was singet so lieblich, was jauchzet so hell
Da drauß im Garten der fremde Gesell? 

Willkommen! Willkommen! mein Finklein ist hier!
Ich sehnte mich lange, schon lange nach dir. 

Du gruselnder Winter nun heißt es: Ade!
Mein Vöglein bringt wieder die Blumen, Juchhe!

Es baut sein Nestchen wohl hinter mein Haus,
Und ruft mich am Morgen in's Freie hinaus. 

Da gucken die Veilchen aus lustigem Grün
Und über ein Weilchen wird Alles erblüh'n.

Und mitten im grünen, im blühenden Baum
Hat's Vöglein im Nestchen den lieblichsten Raum. 

Der Frühling kommt wieder, juchhei&sasassa!
Mein Liebling, mein Schätzchen, mein Finklein ist da.
