Das Perlhuhn
Language: German (Deutsch)
Das Perlhuhn zählt eins, zwei, drei, vier ...
Was zählt es wohl, das guteTier,
dort unter den dunklen Erlen?
Es zählt, von Wissensdrang gejückt
(die es sowohl wie uns entzückt):
die Anzahl seiner Perlen.

La poule au perles
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
La poule au perles compte un, deux, trois, quatre...
Que peut bien compter ce cher animal,
là-bas sous l'aulne obscur ?
Elle compte, obsédée par la soif de connaissance,
(qui la charme autant que nous)
le nombre de ses perles.
