If I were a little bird

If I were a little bird

and also had two little wings

I would fly to you.

But because that cannot be,

I remain just here.

Equally if I am far from you,

yet I am with you in sleep

and talk to you.

When I become awake,

I am alone.

There is no hour of the night goes by

that my heart does not wake

and is thinking of you,

that many thousandfold

you gave your heart to me.
