by Georg Ludwig Heinrich Lang (1836 - 1920)

Liebes Häschen, willst du morgen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Liebes Häschen, willst du morgen
Uns für Ostereier sorgen?
Liebes Häschen, bringe bald
Bunte Eier aus dem Wald!

Weiches Moos und grüne Ästchen
Halten wir für dich zum Nestchen,
Und daneben legen wir
Gras und Klee zur Speise dir.

Und der Hund muß an die Kette,
Und wir Kinder gehn zu Bette,
Daß dir niemand bange macht,
Wenn du leise kommst zur Nacht.

About the headline (FAQ)

Confirmed with Dichterstimmen aus der deutschen Lehrerwelt von Johannes Pawlecki, Vierte Auflage, Leipzig, Verlag von Theodor Hofmann, 1902, page 214. Note: the poem also appears in Dichtungen in Poesie und Prosa für die Unterstufe ed. by Friedrich Polack and Dr Paul Polack, Leipzig, Druck und Verlag von B. G. Teubner, 1912, page 475, author uncredited, under the title "Ostereier" with the first line "Flinkes Häschen, willst du morgen". This is the only change. Both Abt's and Becker's songs appear in catalogs with the incipit "Liebes Häschen".
