by Hermann Eckelmann (1817 - 1886)

Wenn das Kind aufwacht 
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Guten Morgen, lieber Sonnenschein, 
Guckst in mein Fenster schon herein? 
Was machen denn die Vögelein? 

"Die Vöglein sind schon aufgewacht,
Und haben für die stille Nacht
Dem Schöpfer ihren Dank gebracht.

"Und willst du fröhlich sein, mein Kind, 
So fröhlich, wie die Vögel sind,
Mußt du ihm danken auch geschwind." 

Confirmed with Poetisches Schatzkästlein, ed. by A. S. Fischer, Wien: Alfred Höder, 1876, page 41.
