possibly by Johanna Kinkel (1810 - 1858)

Vom weissen Kätzchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ei du kleines weisses Kätzchen,
Sag' was thust du auf dem Dach?
Traun, du wibbelst mit dem Stetzchen,
Und du stellst den Spatzen nach.
Auch das Mäuschen ist voll Schrecken
In dem Pelzchen sanft und grau,
Und es eilt sich zu verstecken
Wenn du schreist: miau, miau.
