Sehnsucht — Meistersinger Matthias

I wish I could be tutoring
A backward child on Mars;
For then I might go shootering
With all the pretty stars.

I wish I were a pumpkin,
So round and firm and green;
For then I might go jumpkin’
With my friend the bean.

I wish I could write poetry
That didn’t sound so forced;
For then I might rhyme “moietry”,
Instead of making do with verse that’s blank.
