by August Ferdinand Meyer (1811 - 1894), as Friedrich Brunhold

Hab' in der Brust ein Vögelein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hab' in der Brust ein Vögelein,
Daß hüpft so froh, so leicht;
[Es]1 muß wohl eine Lerche sein,
Die g'rad zum Himmel [steigt]2.

O, du mein lieb, süß Vögelein,
Flieg' über [Berg und Thal]3,
Zu meiner Liebsten Kämmerlein,
Grüß sie viel tausend Mal.
