by (Agnes) Mathilde Wesendonck, née Luckemeyer (1828 - 1902)

Als sängen tausend Vögelein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Als sängen tausend Vögelein
  In meiner Brust,
So klang es [aus]1 der Seele mein
  [In]2 Liebeslust.
Nun sind sie fortgeflogen
  Die lieben Vögelein,
Sind alle weggezogen
  Und ließen mich allein.
