Die ersten Veilchen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ei, was blüht so heimlich am Sonnenstrahl? Das sind die lieben Veilchen, die blüh'n im stillen Thal, Blühen so heimlich im Moose versteckt, Drum haben auch wir Kinder kein Veilchen entdeckt. Und was steckt sein Köpfelein still empor? Was lispelt aus dem Moose so leise, leis' hervor? "Suchet, so findet ihr! suchet mich doch!" -- Ei, warte, Veilchen, warte! wir finden dich noch.
