by Paula Dehmel (1862 - 1918)

Das Königskind
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wer tanzt mit mir?
Wer spielt mit mir?
Ich bin so sehr allein.
Kam da der gelbe Sonnenstrahl:
Ich tanze Tippel – Huschemal,
Willst du meine Tänzerin sein?
Wer tanzt mit mir?
Wer spielt mit mir?
Der Sonnenstrahl ist zu fein;
Kam da der wilde Pustewind:
Heideih! ich spiele Wegefind,
Lauf doch! fang mich ein!
Wer tanzt mit mir?
Wer spielt mit mir?
Der Wind macht mein Krönchen entzwei.
Kam da unser brauner Junge an,
Macht 'nen Diener wie 'n Edelmann:
Prinzeß, ich bin so frei!
