Choose for Diff
Da kennt so ein Mann nun die halbe Welt
Und weiß nicht, wie man ein Kindchen hält
Und hat von den allernothwendigsten Sachen
Noch gar keine Ahnung -- es ist zum Lachen. --
Und das will nun für den preußischen Staat
Über Frauen und Kinder Gesetze machen!

Confirmed with Anna Ritter, Befreiung. Neue Gedichte, Fünfte Auflage, Stuttgart: J.G. Cotta'sche Buchhandlung Nachfolger, 1900, page 19.
