| ~ So manches liebe Gläschen ~ | |
| This etched J.W. Remy stein #1218 ca. 1900 has a verse lamenting how many things go unused that could bring pleasure if put to the proper use. The text is taken from a poem entitled “Lied des Wanderburschen im Wald” (Song of the Traveling Journeymen in the Forest), written in 1862 by Karl Gärtner. | |

So manches liebe Gläschen, müßt da so ungetrunken sein. So mancher Mund, der köstlich ist, blieb da ---ach Gott!---so ungeküßt. |
So many dear little glasses, must be (left) there as undrunk. So many a delicious mouth, remains there ---oh God!--- unkissed. |
