~ Am Brunnen vor dem Thore! ~
 
This 1/2 L. Jugendstil (youth style = modern @ ca. 1900) stein marked "W 1809" has a scene associated with an old German folk song with the first line of the song. The whole first stanza is included for completion.
 
Am Brunnen vor dem Thore!
(da steht ein Lindenbaum.
Ich träumt in seinem Schatten,
so manchen süßen Traum.)
At the fountain by the gate,
(a lime tree's standing there.
I've dreamt within its shadow,
full many a dream so fair.)
