by Alfred Henschke (1890 - 1928), as Jucundus Fröhlich Klabund

Am Ufer hinter Weiden steht das Haus
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Haitang:
 Am Ufer hinter Weiden steht das Haus,
 Ein zartes Mädchen sieht zur Tür hinaus.
 An der Voliere steht der Mandarin,
 Ein zarter Vogel singt und hüpft darin.
 Verschließ den Käfig! Hüte gut das Haus!
 Sonst fliegt der Vogel in den Wald hinaus!

(Pao, ein junger Prinz, betritt den Raum. 
Tong vor ihm her in vielen rückwärtigen Bücklingen 
verschwindet in der Kulisse.)

Pao:
 Ich bin ein Abenteurer,
 Ein Trunkener dieser Welt,
 Ein müder Tat Befeurer,
 Ein träumerischer Held.
 Ich schwinge tausend Schwerter,
 Die ich dem Feinde bot,
 Wie dennoch unbewehrter
 Mein Herz der Liebe loht.
 Ob ich den Kampf ersehne,
 Die Schwerter senk ich schwer,
 Bricht eine Kantilene
 Singend über mich her.
