by Christian Morgenstern (1871 - 1914)

Fips
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein kleiner Hund mit Namen Fips
erhielt vom Onkel einen Schlips
aus gelb und roter Seide.

Die Tante aber hat, o denkt,
ihm noch ein Glöcklein drangehängt
zur Aug- und Ohrenweide.

Hei, war der kleine Hund da stolz.
Das merkt sogar der Kaufmann Scholz
im Hause gegenüber.

Den grüßte Fips sonst mit dem Schwanz;
jetzt ging er voller Hoffart ganz
an seiner Tür vorüber.
