| Comment: | Translation: Friedrichsruh on the seventh of October 1889. When good Emperor Redbeard Was journeying to the Holy Land, He had to go with his pious army Through mountains desolate and empty. Let us rejoice, therefore, While we are young. After a pleasant youth After a troubling old age The earth will have us. Arise, children of the Fatherland, The day of glory has arrived!Against us of tyranny The bloody banner is raised. Do everything in moderation and morality, namely work, but then also eating, and apart from that especially drinking. Advice of a father to his son. |
