A card saying Happy Birthday, many happy returns of the day. To sit in the trees and sing with the birds is a pretty concept. The little girl's balance is as good as the birds. Today was the birthday of the poet Robert Herrick whose lines seemed appropriate to head this post.
The card was sent in 1919 from the village of Rothrist-dorf in the German speaking canton of Aargau, Switzerland with a couple of their William Tell definitives first issued in 1910. It is sent to Helene from "your sister Lydie". Lovely writing but don't know what the rest says, it starts with Meine (my); possibly its a loving greeting.

Lovely card. It made me smile. I'd be singing Happy Birthday greetings along with the little girl and the birds. The William Tell stamps are fun. Happy PFF!
Lovely card! It's especially fun to see vintage cards from outside the U.S.!
"My best wishes on your birthday, your sister Lydie", as you guessed.
It's a really pretty little card. The post header goes perfectly. :)
Such a pretty card. Thanks for sharing.
Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!
It appears to be a beautiful lithographic card.
One of the very pretty postcards. Sweet little fellow up in a tree and the two pretty birds. Very nice.
That is a very charming postcard. Love the little girl sitting near the birds in the tree. Happy PFF.
