Too awfool for make knownG

Boot noding dinked der BreitmannL
Of schmutz or idle scheinL

Und in de dim plue peaudifulR
Rose distant DrachenfelsB

So pure ash voman's trut'A
De singed de songs of ShermanyL
De songs of Breitmann's yout'A
De songs mit tears of vanished yearsB
Made peaudiful in weinL
Dus endet out de firster tayA
Of Breitmann on der RheinL
