by Anton Alexander, Graf von Auersperg (1806 - 1876), as Anastasius Grün

Ich hab' eine alte Muhme
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich hab' eine alte Muhme,
Die'n altes Büchlein hat,
Es liegt in dem alten Buche
Ein altes, dürres Blatt.

So dürr ist wohl auch die Hand schon,
Die ihr's im Lenz einst gepflückt. --
Was mag doch die Alte haben?
Sie weint, so oft sie's erblickt? --
