by Christian Felix Weisse (1726 - 1804)

Unüberlegter Wunsch
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Knabe:
Dies braune Pferd - welch schönes Tier!
O lieber Mann, erlaubet mir,
ein wenig drauf herumzutraben,
was wollt' ich nicht für Freude haben!

Der Mann:
Prüf' deine Kräfte doch zuvor,
eh' du was wünschest, kleiner Tor!
Weißt du ein Pferd auch zu regieren,
um nicht dein Leben zu verlieren?
