by Ludwig Bechstein (1801 - 1860)

Fischlein, Fischlein im Rhein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Fischlein, Fischlein im Rhein,
Spielen im Sonnenschein,
Scherzen so wohlgemuth
Still in der grünen Fluth;
Fischlein im Rhein. 

Fischlein, Fischlein im Rhein,
Könnt ich wie ihr doch sein
Sorgenlos, kummerlos,
Selig im Wellenschoos,
Fischlein im Rhein! 

Fischlein, Fischlein im Rhein,
Einsam wand'r ich, allein.
Lebt wohl, muß weiter gehn,
Werd' euch nie wiedersehn,
Fischlein am Rhein!
