by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Grasemückchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Grasemückchen,
An dem Brückchen,
Trink ein Schlückchen,
Fang ein Mückchen,
Sing ein Stückchen,
Grasemückchen!
 
Alle Brüder
Singen Lieder
Hin und wieder;
Sträub's Gefieder,
Sing sie nieder,
Alle Brüder!
 
Lade Gäste
Auf die Äste!
Doch das Beste
Ist im Neste;
Brauchst zum Feste
Keine Gäste.
 
Grasemückchen,
Trink ein Schlückchen,
Fang ein Mückchen,
Gib ein Stückchen
Deinen kleinen
Grasemückchen!
