~ Die Welt ist viel zu schön ~
The scene on this relief stein is one of merry making and the verse is one of optimism in this world. The stein is marked "4241" probably made for WEKARA by either Mettlach or Marzi & Remy ca. pre-WWII (see: Chris Wheeler's "Stein Marks").
 
Die Welt ist viel zu schön
um traurig in ihr herzugehen.
The world is much too beautiful
to go around in it depressed (sorrowful).
