They'll guard thee so safely from danger or care, They'll gaze on thy beautiful winglets so fair, And comfort, and love, and befriend thee!

In Des Knaben Wunderhorn, Arnim und Brentano, 1808, iii. 82, 83, 90, we have three German songs relating to the lady-bird. The first two of these are here given:

Guldvogel, flieg aus, Flieg auf die Stangen, K?sebrode langen; Mir eins, dir eins, Alle gute G'sellen eins.

"Gold-bird, get thee gone, fly to thy perch, bring cheese-cakes, one for me, one for thee, and one for all good people."

Maik?ferchen, Maik?ferchen, fliege weg! Dein H?usgen brennt, Dein M?tterchen flennt, Dein Vater sitzt auf der Schwelle, Flieg in Himmel aus der H?lle.

"May-bird, May-bird, fly away. Thy house burns, thy mother weeps, thy father stays at his threshold, fly from hell into heaven!"--The third is not so similar to our version. Another German one is given in Kuhn und Schwark, Norddeutsche Sagen, 1848, p. 375:

Maik?ferchen, fliege, Dein Vater ist im Kriege, Dein Mutter ist in Pommerland, Pommerland ist abgebrannt! Maik?ferchen, fliege.

"May-bird, fly. Thy father is in the war, thy mother is in Pomerania, Pomerania is burnt! May-bird, fly."--See, also, Erk und Irmer, Die Deutschen Volkslieder, Berlin, 1839, iv. 7, Das Maik?ferlied. For the two pretty Swedish songs which follow I am indebted to the MS. of Mr. Stephens. The first is common in the southern parts of that country, the other in the northern.

Guld-h?na, guld-ko! Flyg ?ster, flyg vester, Dit du flyger der bor din ?lskade!

"Gold-hen, gold-cow! fly east, fly west, you will fly where your sweetheart is."

Jungfru Marias Nyckelpiga! Flyg ?ster, flyg vester, Flyg dit der min k?resta bor!
