by Paula Dehmel (1862 - 1918)

Das Scherchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schnipsel, schnipsel, Scherchen,
schneid mir ein Gewehrchen;
schieß ich mir ein Häschen tot,
brat's dem Kind zum Mittagbrot.
Die Schnitzel fliegen zum Fenster hinaus
durch den Sonnenschein in des Gärtners Haus;
der hat seine Freude dran,
oder guckt sie gar nicht an,
oder streut sie in den Wind,
oder schenkt sie seinem Kind--
schnipsel, schnipsel, Scherchen-- --
