Lustige Geschichten und drollige Bilder (German)

Wenn die Kinder artig sind,

Kommt zu ihnen das Christkind;

Wenn sie ihre Suppe essen

Und das Brot auch nicht vergessen,

Wenn sie, ohne Lärm zu machen,

Still sind bei den Siebensachen,

Beim Spaziergehn auf den Gassen

Von Mama sich führen lassen,

Bringt es ihnen Gut's genug

Und ein schönes Bilderbuch.

Merry Stories And Funny Pictures (English)

When the children have been good,

That is, be it understood,

Good at meal-times, good at play,

Good all night and good all day –

They shall have the pretty things

Merry Christmas always brings.

 

Naughty, romping girls and boys

Tear their clothes and make a noise,

Spoil their pinafores and frocks,

And deserve no Christmas-box.

Such as these shall never look

At this pretty Picture-book.
