Komm', Schwalbe, nimm' dies Brieflein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Komm', Schwalbe, nimm' dies Brieflein 
Und bring's der Liebsten mein! 
Sie sitzt am rebumrankten 
Dachgiebelfensterlein.  

Brauchst weiter nichts zu wissen, 
Nicht Gasse, noch Haus, noch Platz: 
Schau' nach der Schönsten im Stätdchen  --  
Lieb' Schwälbchen  --  dies ist mein Schatz!
