by Karl Fröhlich (1821 - 1898)

Häschen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
"Häselein verschwind', verschwind',
daß Jäger dich und Hund nicht find',
find't er dich, schießt er dich,
piff, paff, puh!"

Häslein schaut aus dem Kraut.
Häslein an der Tasche schlug:
"Jäger, hier ist Geld genug!
Kraut und Kohl giebt es wohl
um sechshundert zweiunddreißig Thaler!"

"Schelm du!" rief der Jäger laut,
"Geld hast du, und stiehlst mein Kraut?
find' ich dich, schieß' ich dich,
piff, paff, puh!"

Duck' dich, Häslein, ducke dich
tief ins Kraut, und mucke nicht!
Jäger kam. Reißaus nahm,
Reißaus nahm Häslein, 
Hopsasa, Hopsasa!

"Fass' ihn, Hund!" Hopsasa!
"Fass' ihn, Hund, mit seinen
sechshundert und zweiunddreißig Thalern!"

"Häselein verschwind', verschwind',
daß Jäger dich und Hund nicht find',
find't er dich, schießt er dich,
piff, paff, puh!"
