Marienwürmchen
Ladybird
Rudolph, Caroline (?)
Ladybird, come sit on my hand,
I mean you no harm, please understand.
I just want to look at your wings;
They are such pretty colourful things.
And now, ladybird, you must fly,
Your house is on fire, your children cry;
The wicked spider has them in her trap.
Ladybird, ladybird, you must fly back.
Fly off now to the neighbours’ land,
They mean you no harm, please understand.
They just want to look at your wings,
To see who it is my greeting brings.
