by Johann Wilhelm Hey (1789 - 1854)

Die Schnecke hat ein Haus
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Schnecke hat ein Haus,
Ihr Fellchen hat die Maus,
Der Sperling hat die Federn fein,
Der Schmetterling schöne Flügelein.

Nun sage mir, was hast denn du?
Ich habe Kleider und auch Schuh,
Und Vater und Mutter, Lust und Leben:
Das hat mir der liebe Gott gegeben.
