by Christian Morgenstern (1871 - 1914)

Der Ginganz
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein Stiefel wandern und sein Knecht
von Knickebühl gen Entenbrecht.

Urplötzlich auf dem Felde drauss
begehrt der Stiefel: Zieh mich aus!

Der Knecht drauf: Es ist nicht an dem;
doch sagt mir, lieber Herre, -: wem ?

Dem Stiefel gibt es einen Ruck:
Fürwahr, beim heiligen Nepomuk,

ich ging ganz in Gedanken hin ...
Du weißt, dass ich ein andrer bin,

seitdem ich meinen Herrn verlor ...
Der Knecht wirft beide Arm' empor,

als wollt' er sagen: lass doch, lass!
Und weiter zieht das Paar fürbass.
