In der Bahnhofhalle, nicht für es gebaut, geht ein Huhn hin und her ... Wo, wo ist der Herr Stationsvorsteh'r? Wird dem Huhn man nichts tun? Hoffen wir es! Sagen wir es laut: dass ihm unsre Sympathie gehört, selbst an dieser Stätte, wo es - "stört"!

Dans le hall de la gare, pas bâti pour elle, une poule va de ci de là ... Où, où est le chef de gare ? Ne va-t-on rien faire à la poule ? Nous l'espérons ! Disons-le tout haut : elle a toute notre sympathie, même en ce lieu, où elle "dérange" !
