by Richard Fedor Leopold Dehmel (1863 - 1920) and by Paula Dehmel (1862 - 1918)

Der Reitersmann
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schimmel, willst du laufen,
will ich dir was kaufen !
Heißa, lauf nach Mexiko,
da kaufe ich dir Bohnenstroh;
laufe nach der Mongolei
da kauf ich mir ein Osterei.

Eile, Schimmel, eile,
oder du kriegst Keile !
Hopsa, lauf nach Hindostan,
da kaufe ich mir Marzipan;
laufe nach Kap Morgenrot,
da kauf ich dir ein Freierbrot.
