by Friedrich Güll (1812 - 1879)

Osterhäslein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Vater spricht: 
Drunten an der Gartenmauern 
Hab' ich seh'n das Häslein lauern. 
Eins, zwei, drei: 
Legt's ein Ei, 
Lang' wird's nimmer dauern.  

Kinder, laß uns niederducken!
Seht ihr's ängstlich um sich gucken? 
Ei, da hüpft's, 
Und dort schlüpft's 
Durch die Mauerluken.

Und nun sucht in allen Ecken, 
Wo die schönen Eier stecken: 
Roth und blau, 
Grün und grau, 
Und mit Marmelflecken.

Confirmed with Friedrich Güll, Kinderheimath in Liedern. Volksausgabe: drei Gaben in einem Band, Gütersloh: C. Bertelsmann, 1875, pages 10 - 11.
