Note 1019 — Chapter VII · THE EARLIEST DIFFERENTIATIONS OF POETRY
Reading edition
Dr. H. Dunger, Rundâs und Reimsprüche aus dem Vogtlande, Plauen, 1876. A rundâ is originally “a little song sung while drinking,” but is made to include the schnaderhüpfl; and in the author’s opinion all these forms go back to songs of reapers during harvest. That, however, is of no great moment here.
