by Otto Julius Bierbaum (1865 - 1910)

Der Vogel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Ein Vogel singt gottlobesam,
Ein Vogel tief in meiner Brust;
Der Vogel ist die Liebe,
Die Liebe.

Leis ist die Stimme, die er hat,
Und seine Weise ist ganz schlicht,
Doch fröhlich ist sein Singen,
Sein Singen.

Gottlobesames leises Lied,
Du fröhlich Lied in meiner Brust,
Du bist mir Trost und Glaube,
Und Glaube.

Confirmed with Otto Julius Bierbaum, Der neubestellte Irrgarten der Liebe, Leipzig: Insel-Verlag, 1906, page 151
