by Bruno Hardt-Warden (born Bruno Wradatsch) (1883 - 1954)

Feuernelken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Feuernelken, ihr flammenden Sternchen,
ihr müßt gleich brennenden Straßenlaternchen
leuchten bei Nacht!
Bei Nacht! Bei Nacht!

Denn torkelt Herr Nulpe,
der Nachtfalter heim,
betrunken von Küssen und Honigseim,
dann müßt ihr dem schwanken Gesellen
die nächtlichen Pfade erhellen . . .

Und kann er nicht weiter, so ruft ihr herbei
die grasgrüne Heuschreckenpolizei,
die sperrt dann das Onkelchen Nulpe
in eine geräumige Tulpe . . . 

Dort schläft es sein Räuschchen, sein seliges, aus
und träumt von der braven Frau Nulpe zu Haus;
doch morgens nach köstlichem Schlafe,
bezahlt er zwei Tautröpfchen Strafe!

Feuernelken, ihr flammenden Sternchen . . .
