~ Es Zogen drei Burschen ~
 
This is the first line of a German folk song entitled "Der Wirtin Töchterlein" by Ludwig Uhland in 1809. The stein is Jugendstil (youth style = modern art) ca. early 1900's.
 
Es Zogen drei Burschen
wohl über den Rhein.

Der Wirtin Töchterlein.
Three comrades so bold
strolled over the Rhein.

Of the Inn Keeper's little daughter.
