possibly by Wilhelm Hensel (1794 - 1861)
Nach Süden
Language: German (Deutsch)
Von allen Zweigen schwingen Sich wandernde Vögel empor; Weit durch die Lüfte klingen Hört man den Reisechor: Nach Süden! Nach Süden! In den ewigen Blumenflor. Ihr Vöglein singt munter hernieder, Wir singen lustig hinaus. Wenn der Lenz kommt, kehren wir wieder, Wieder in Nest und Haus, Von Süden! Von Süden! Jetzt aber hinaus! hinaus!
Confirmed with Meine Lieder. Den Freunden aufgezeichnet, Berlin: Verlag der Königlichen Geheimen Ober-Hofbuchdruckerei (R. Decker), 1861, page 74; note: the author is not specified in the book.
