by Julius Karl Reinhold Sturm (1816 - 1896)

Der Kuckuck hat ein einzig Lied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Der Kuckuck hat ein einzig Lied
[Auf]1 seinen Schatz erdacht,
Das wird er nicht zu singen müd
Von früh bis in die Nacht.

Sein [Schätzlein]2 sitzt auf grünem Zweig
Hört unermüdlich zu3,
Und denkt, es singt im ganzen Reich
Doch Keiner wie mein Kucku4.
