The Wendish Postilion.
On Lusatia's sandy plains
Drove Rode a youth gay and fair
Drove – and on is tardy road (way)
For pastime rung his horn
He rung, but the very same times
Returned ever tender and mellow
Though no sorrow was seen in his heart face
They betrayed sorrow in his heart.
"Why, is no other tune known to thee
Not to repeat the one so constantly.
For change's sake, I deem, in thy land
There must be other songs."
"Many a song is sung in my land
Better than to grieve is to sing
But the one pleases me before above all
Therefore I like is to ring on my horn."
"And that bouquet (Bunch) of roses
The fair ornament of adorning on thy hat
Tell me fair youth
In what garden hast thou plucked it?
