Storchenlied
 (Sung text for setting by J. Rheinberger)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Storch, Storch, Schnibel-Schnabel,
Klappert mit dem roten Sabel,
Steht auf einem hohen Turm,
Schnabulieret Frosch und Wurm.

 ... 
Rote Strümpfe hast du an,
Dass man dich gut sehen kann.

Storch, Storch, Schnacke-Mücken,
Trägt die Kindlein auf dem Rücken,
Stellt sie ab ganz still und sacht,
Da und dort in dunkler Nacht.

 ... 
Geht's den Menschen schief und quer,,
Kommst du mit der langen Scher.

Storch, Storch, Schlucker-Magen,
Kann das Essen gut vertragen,
Frösche zwei, drei Schneiderlein
Schnabelt er zum Frühstück ein.

 ... ,
Nimmt den bösen Bub beim Frack,
Steckt ihn in den Klappersack.
