Max Liebermann
Potato blight raged in eighteen forty
seven
Berlin hardly a seventh heaven.
Economic crisis plus agrarian faults
caused bread riots plus hunger revolts.
Into this our hero born
his family not exactly forlorn.
Father a manufacturer turned banker
a commercial freethinker.
A large house in central Berlin
young Liebermann born within.
At five years showing talent
at nine years consistency apparent.
First studied law and philosophy
later art systematically.
Maturing into a German great
nineteen thirty five his death date.
