by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Frühlingswölkchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Siehst du, mein Kind, die schneeige Wölkchen?
Wiß', hinter jedem von Engeln ein Völkchen
Lauschen herab von den seligen Höhn;
  Schwingen verwundert die glänzenden Flügel,
Sehn sie die blühenden Thäler und Hügel,
Singen: Wie ist doch die Erde so schön!

  Eia, mein Kind, jetzt könntest du schauen
Tief in den Himmel da droben den blauen,
Sehen die Engelein stehen im Chor;
  Schade, wie schade! darfst nimmer es hoffen,
Grad wo am Himmel die Fensterlein offen,
Ziehen die Engel ein Wölklein davor.

Confirmed with Liederbuch von Friedrich Oser, 1842-1874. Mit einem biographischen Verzeichnis der Componisten, Basel: Benno Schwabe, Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1875, page 40.
