Die Drossel
Language:
German
"Ich will ja nicht in Garten geh'n,
Will liegen sommerlang,
Hör ich die liebe Drossel nur,
Die in dem Busche sang."
Man fängt dem Kind die Drossel ein
Im Käfig sitzt sie dort,
Doch singen will sie nicht und hängt
Ihr Köpfchen immerfort.
Noch einmal blickt das Kind nach ihr
Mit bittendem Gesicht
Da schlägt die Drossel schön und hell
Da glänzt sein Aug' und bricht!
