by Robert Reinick (1805 - 1852)

Kaninchen, Karnickelchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kaninchen, Karnickelchen,
Was bist du doch so stumm!
Du sprichst nicht, du singst nicht,
Und laufst so sacht herum.

Kaninchen, Karnickelchen!
Hast Augen gros und blank,
Auch fehlt es dir an Ohren nicht;
Die sind gehörig lang.

Kaninchen, Karnickelchen!
Kannst essen, trinken, schlafen,
Doch mit dem Lernen merk’ ich schon,
Machst du dir nichts zu schaffen.

Kaninchen, Karnickelchen!
Ich wette was darum,
Trotz grosem Aug’ und grosem Ohr,
Du bist ein bissel dumm!
