by Friedrich Heinrich Karl, Freiherr de La Motte-Fouqué (1777 - 1843)

Vög'lein dort im klaren Blauen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Vög'lein dort im klaren Blauen,
Zeigt mir an
Rechte Bahn,
Wo sie führt zu meiner Frauen!
Ach, ihr fliegt so kreuz und quer
Irr umher.
Habt sie selbst noch nicht gefunden;
Bang' im Leid
Unterm bunten Federkleid
Tragt auch ihr der Sehnsucht Wunden.
