Sonnenlied

Sonne, Sonne, scheine,
Fahr über Rheine,
Fahr übers Glockenhaus,
Gucken drei schöne [Puppen]1 raus.
[Eine]2 die spinnt Seiden,
Die andre wickelt Weiden,
Die andre geht ans Brünnchen,
Findt ein goldig Kindchen!
Wer solls heben?
Die Töchter aus dem Löwen.
Wer soll die Windeln wäschen?
Die alte Schneppertäschen.

from Des Knaben Wunderhorn , "Sonnenlied"
