by August Kopisch (1799 - 1853)

Blücher am Rhein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Heere blieben am Rheine stehn:
Soll man hinein nach Frankreich gehn?
Man dachte hin und wieder nach;
allein der alte Blücher sprach:
"Generalkarte her!
Nach Frankreich gehn ist nicht so schwer.
Wo steht der Feind?" — "Der Feind? Dahier!"
"Den Finger drauf! Den schlagen wir!
Wo liegt Paris? — Paris? Dahier!"
"Den Finger drauf! Das nehmen wir!
Nun schlagt die Brücken übern Rhein!
Ich denke der Champagnerwein
wird, wo er wächst, am besten sein!"
