~ In einem kühlen Grunde ~
 
This is a lover's lament on a relief stein marked with a mold number "1147 H", probably by Marzi & Remy, ca. 1900. The translation has been rearranged from the poetic form (see: Les Hopper's Translations) to one that goes more with the literal for the convenience of the reader.
 
In einem kühlen Grunde,
da geht ein Mühlenrad,
mein' Liebste ist verschwunden,
die dort gewohnet hat.
In the cool vale,
the mill wheel turns,
my sweetheart has gone away,
who had once lived there.
