by Stefan George (1868 - 1933)

Ganz kleine vögel singen ·
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ganz kleine vögel singen ·
Ganz kleine blumen springen ·
Ihre glocken klingen.

Auf hellblauen heiden
Ganz kleine lämmer weiden ·
Ihr fliess ist weiss und seiden.

Ganz kleine kinder neigen
Und drehen sich laut im reigen --
Darf der zwerg sich zeigen?
