The aviary .- The birds lament / Der Vögel Klage
( Oh, says the linnet, if I sing ; Oh, says the pretty featherd jay ; Oh, says the rook and eke the crow ; Oh, says the pretty speckled thrush ; Oh, ruft der Hänfling, höret dies ; Oh, ruft der bunte Häher aus ; Oh, ruft die Krähe, ihr müsst verstehen ; Oh, ruft die Frossel, reizend geflecht )
