~ Ein freies Leben führen wir ~ | |
The verse was written in 1782 by Friedrich von Schiller (1759 to 1805) one of the great German men of literature and put to the music of Gaudeamus Igitur using a comical scene with mushrooms singing reminiscent of Heinrich Schlitt on this salt-glazed, stoneware stein, ca. early 1900's. | |
Ein freies Leben führen wir, ein Leben voller Wonne. |
A free life we lead, a life full of bliss. |
