by Eduard Mörike (1804 - 1875)

Vogellied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es ist zwar sonsten nicht der Brauch,
   Daß man 's Nestchen baut,
Bevor man erst ein Weiblein auch
   Sich angetraut
      Zirri Zirrli!
   Erst ein Schätzchen,
   Dann ein Plätzchen,
      Zirri!
Am Birnbaum oder am Haselstrauch.

Allein ich dacht, du baust einmal
   Auf gut Glück.
Schaden kann es auf keinen Fall;
   Zirrwick Zirrliwick!
Gefällt's Ihr nicht, meine Jungfer Braut,
Es ist gleich wieder umgebaut.
