Weil nun wieder Frühling ist, Leute, streu ich butterblumengelber Kasper lachend Lauter lilablaue Asternblüten, hei, ins helle Feld! Lilablaue Astern, liebe Leute, Astern blühn im deutschen Vaterland bekanntlich bloß im Herbst. Aber ich, ich butterblumengelber Kasper, streue, weil nun wieder heller Frühling ist, tanzend tausend dunkelblaue Asternblüten, hei, in alle Welt!
