by Martin Hermann Kiehne (1855 - 1937)

Zum Lieb wer will mein Bote sein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Zum Lieb wer will mein Bote sein,
Goldhaarig' Kind, zu dir?
Flieg' hin, o Morgensonnenschein,
Küss' auf die Äglein ihr! 

Zum Lieb wer will mein Bote sein?
Spann' aus die Flügel weit,
Waldvögelein, Waldvögelein,  
Sing' ihr viel Seligkeit!

Zum Lieb wer will mein Bote sein? 
Was rauschst du, munt'rer Quell? 
Ein Röslein werf' ich frisch hinein: 
grüß' mir mein Lieb, Gesell!

Zum Lieb wer will mein Bote sein?
Ei nun, was frag' ich lang! 
Will eilen selbst zu ihr hinein,
Mir wird viel süßer Dank!
