by Elisabeth Pauline Ottilie Luise zu Wied, Prinzessin (1843 - 1916), as Carmen Sylva

Der Mäusethurm. Bingen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Pfeifen sie noch?
Pfeifen die Mäuse noch,
die dereinst den Rhein überzogen
durch die brausenden Wogen,
die Ernte vernichteten doch?

Pfeifen sie noch?
Pfeifen die Mäuse noch,
oder gingen sie alle
in die furchtbare Falle,
aus der keine mehr lebend kroch?

Pfeifen sie noch?
Pfeifen die Mäuse noch,
welche jagten und wagten?
Oder sind die Verzagten
ganz stille nun in ihrem Loch?
