~ Das, was die Zeit verschlungen ~
 
The verse is very philosophical and true to life on this large pouring stein marked with the logo of August Sältzer of Eisenach, ca. 1900.
 
Das, was die Zeit verschlungen,
geht morgenrotlich auf,
und aus Errinnerungen,
blüht neues Leben auf.

Fest allezeit in Freud und Leid.
That, which time devoured,
evaporates with the red of dawn,
and from memories,
new life blooms.

Celebrate always in joy and sorrow.
