Anecdote I had never heard or heard of "Wenn ich ein Vöglein wär" until coming across it in Lieder, Songs und Gospels 3. This is an old German folksong; the lyrics are by Johannes Gottfried Herder (1778) and the melody by Johannes Friedrich Reichardt (ca. 1800). This is another song of unfulfilled nocturnal longings and undying love.
