Note 724 — Chapter V · THE DIFFERENCING ELEMENTS OF COMMUNAL POETRY (continued 3)
Reading edition
Pfannenschmid, p. 392. The song, “Die Ernt’ ist da, es winkt der Halm,” is clearly an outgrowth of the older refrain. See also p. 92. An actual refrain at the work is printed by Firmenich, III. 631:—
Ei Hober, Hober, zeitige Hober!
Ei Mädl, kom und schneid den Hober!
Ei dirre Hober, dirre Hober!
Ei Knechtl, kom und benn den Hober!
