~ Das Wandern ist des Müllers Lust ~
 
The verse is the first line of a poem by Wilhelm Müller 1821 and put to music by Franz Schubert in 1823. It is still a popular folk song. The PUG (printed under glaze) and enameled stein is from the Jugendstil (youth style = modern art) period, ca, early 1900's.
 
Das Wandern ist des Müllers Lust:
Das Wandern!
Wandering is the Millers joy:
The wandering!
