"Rhine Legend"
Today I mow by the Neckar,
Tomorrow by the Rhine,
Today I have a sweetheart,
Tomorrow I am alone.
What use in my mowing
If my sickle will not cut?
What use is a sweetheart
If she will not stay with me?
If I must be mowing
By the Neckar and the Rhine
I will throw it into the water
My little golden ring.
It will flow with the Rhine
And float away
to the depths of the sea.
As the ring floats away down,
A fish will swallow it,
And the fish will be served
At the King's own table.
The King will then ask
"Whose ring can this be?"
And my sweetheart will answer,
"The ring belongs to me."
My sweetheart will go leaping
Up hill and down dale,
She will bring back to me.
Th fine ring of gold.
You can mow by the Neckar
You can mow by the Rhine,
But always throw me
your ring in the water.
--
if music be the food of love,
tho' yet the treat is only sound.
Sure I must perish by your charms,
unless you save me in your arms.
---- Heveningham/Weichin Chen
