~ Ich will dir folgen durch Wälder und Meer ~ | |
These are two lines from a folksong entitled "Aennchen von Tharau" (Annie from Tharau) about a 17th century cleric's daughter, Anna Neander, from East Prussia. The stein (lid removed) is ca. early 1900's. | |
Ich will dir folgen durch Wälder und Meer, Eisen und Kerker und feindliches Heer. |
I will follow you through forests and (over) the sea, (facing) irons and imprisonment and a hostile army. |
