by Julius Mosen (1803 - 1867)

Wenn die Blumen längst verstarben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn die Blumen längst verstarben 
Vor der weißen Winternacht,
Hat ein Vöglein auf der Fichte 
Erst sein kleines Nest gemacht. 

Ach, ein blutigrothes Vöglein
Brütet in der Wildniß Graus
Unter den beeisten Zweigen 
Still und heiß die Jungen aus! 

Kreuzesschnabel, Wundervogel! 
Gar zu oft fällst du mir ein, 
Schau' ich in die starre Wildniß,
In die öde Welt hinein.
