Classic Poem

MEMORY

The one hand, the pearl, the other the chest,
O Wilhelm Wisetzki, you starbest so fruhe-
But the cat, the cat is saved.

The bar broke, whereupon he geklommen,
Since he is umgekommen- in water
But the cat, the cat is saved.

We followed the corpse, the lovely boy,
You have him being buried under lilies of the valley
But the cat, the cat is saved.

Have been wise, you have escaped
The storms, a shelter have early gewonnen-
But the cat, the cat is saved.

Have escaped early've been wise,
Yet ere you erkranktest, you're genesen-
But the cat, the cat is saved.

For many years, how many times, o Small,
With envy and sadness I commemorative deiner-
But the cat, the cat is saved.
