by Rudolf Lothar (1865 - 1943)

Aus fernem Land hab' ich dich hergeleitet
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Li-Tai-Pe
Aus fernem Land hab’ ich dich hergeleitet
Zu meines Kaisers Schloß.
Wohl mir, daß diesen Tag ich schauen darf,
An dem die Sonne sich denm Mond vermählt.
Nun schick’ ich, daß er unsere Ankunft melde,
Meinen Pagen zum Palast.
Die Sitte will es so.
Du darfst nicht eher landen,
Als bis der Kaiser dir die Handen gereicht.
