Heimkehr vom Feste
 (Sung text for setting by E. Nössler)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Bei Goldhähnchens war ich heut zu Gast!
Sie wohnen im grünen Fichtenpalast
In einem Nestchen klein,
Sehr niedlich und sehr fein.
 
Was hat es gegeben? Schmetterlingsei,
Und Mückensalat und Gritzenbrei
Und Käferbraten famos --
Zwei Millimeter groß.
 
Dann sang uns Vater Goldhähnchen was,
So zierlich klang's wie gesponnenes Glas.
Dann wurden die Kinder beseh'n:
Sehr niedlich alle zehn!
 
Dann sagt' ich: "Adieu!" und: "Ich danke sehr!"
Sie sprachen:  "O bitte, wir hatten die Ehr',
Es hat uns mächtig gefreut!"
Es sind doch reizende Leut!
