by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

O du meine liebe Taube
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O du meine liebe Taube, 
Meine Sehnsucht, flieg nun hin 
Und verkünd' am Fenster drüben, 
Daß ich heimgekommen bin. 

Bring' den Duft der ersten Blüten 
Von den Bergeshalden ihr, 
Bring' den ersten Sang der Vögel, 
Bring' auch einen Gruß von mir! 

Und wie wird mein Herz sich freuen 
An dem jungen Frühlingsglück, 
Bringst du mir vom Fenster drüben 
Einen Gruß von ihr zurück!
