by Carl Ernst Kohlhauer (b. 1815)

Im Walde liegt begraben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im Walde liegt begraben 
Gar manch ein Vöglein traut,
Das einst auf grünem Zweige
So froh sein Nest erbaut. 

Es liegt im Wald begraben 
Auf dürrem Gras und Moos;
Zu singen und zu sterben, 
Das ist des Vögleins Loos.
