Der Leiermann
Language:
German
Drüben hinterm Dorfe
Steht ein Leiermann
Und mit starren Fingern
Dreht er, was er kann.
Barfuß auf dem Eise
[Schwankt]1 er hin und her
Und sein kleiner Teller
Bleibt ihm immer leer.
Keiner mag ihn hören,
Keiner sieht ihn an,
Und die Hunde [brummen]2
Um den alten Mann.
Und er läßt es gehen
Alles, wie es will,
Dreht und seine Leier
Steht ihm nimmer still.
Wunderlicher Alter,
Soll ich mit dir geh'n?
Willst zu meinen Liedern
Deine Leier dreh'n?
