Machwerk R.W. Aristoquakes

Teil 19-61

- Lyriker im Himmel -

Noah, mit Englisch gut vertraut,

War der nächste. Klar und laut

Trug den andern er sonor

Den "Hopping" von "Rossetti" vor.

Hopping Frog

C.G. Rossetti

Hopping frog, hop here and be seen,
I'll not pelt you with stick or stone:
Your cap is laced and your coat is green;
Good bye, we'll let each other alone.
Plodding toad, plod here and be looked at,
You the finger of scorn is crooked at:
But though you're lumpish, you're harmless too;
You won't hurt me, and I won't hurt you.
