Zwei Knaben gingen durch das Korn, Der andere blies das Klappenhorn. Er konnt' es zwar nicht ordentilich blasen, Doch blies er's wenigstens einigermaßen. Zwei Knaben gingen durch das Korn, Sie waren beide Feger des Schorn. Der eine konnte gar nicht fegen, Der andre fog brillant dagegen. Zwei Knaben rieten kreuz und quer, Wo kommen die Klapphornverse her? Da sprach der andre: "Horch, Die bringt der Klapphornstorch!"

Two lads went through the corn, As one blew a folding horn. He couldn't exactly play it well, But at least he was a little satisfied. Two lads went through the corn, They were wild little reapers. The one wasn't adept at all, Which made the other look brilliant. Two lads rode here and there, Wondering from whence come these Klapphorn verses? One said to them other: "Listen, They're brought by the Klapphorn stork!"
