Text:
“Ich weiss ein Häuschen, am grünen Rhein,
umranket von Reblaub die Fensterlein.
Drin waltet ein Mädchen, so engelgleich,
an Golde so arm, doch an Tugend so reich.”
(I know a little house on the green Rhine,
where the little windows are surrounded by vines.
In it reigns a maiden so angelic,
in gold so poor, but in virtue so rich.)
