~ In deutscher Männerbrust, wohnt Sanges lust ~
 
A praise for German song is represented on this relief Mettlach stein mold #202 without date of manufacture, but in the 1885 Mettlach sales catalog.
 
In deutscher Männerbrust,
wohnt Sanges lust;
drum töne laut und lang
der' n lobge Sang.
In German men's hearts,
live joyful song;
therefore ring out loud and long
in laudable song.
