~ Alpenglüh'n und Edelweiss ~ | |
Here's a nice Alpine verse and drinking scene on this relief stein marked only "214", ca. 1900. The Edelweiss (noble white) is an Alpine flower. | |
Alpenglüh'n und Edelweiss sind des sähnen Steigerpreis. Hohe Berge, frischer Trunk halten Leib und Seele jung. |
The Alps' glistening and Edelweiss are the rewards for the climber. High mountains, fresh drink keep life and spirit young. |
