from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Fränkisches Volkslied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Choose for Diff
Es steht ein Baum im grünen Tal,
von weichem Gras ummoost,
da haben wir viel tausendmal
gesessen und gekost.

Ein schönes Vöglein saß in Ruh'
tagtäglich auf dem Zweig,
und sahen wir dem Vöglein zu, 
so sang es allsogleich.

Doch jüngst in meinem Morgentraum
hat mich ein Bild erschreckt:
Verdorret sah ich Blatt und Baum,
das Vöglein hingestreckt.

Umschürzt mit einem gold'nen Band
stand, die mir Treue schwur,
mit einem And'ren Hand in Hand -
ach, wär's ein Traumbild nur!
