by Alfred Börckel (1851 - 1928)

Lieb Vöglein, ich binde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Lieb Vöglein, ich binde
Ein Briefchen dir um,
Das trag' durch die Winde
Am Halse herum;

Das trage zum Liebchen,
Die reich es Dir lohnt,
Du kennst ja das Stübchen,
Darinnen sie wohnt.

Dort weile und singe,
Lieb Vöglein, mein Glück,
Doch kehrst Du, dann bringe
Ein Briefchen zurück!
