Note 1048 — Chapter VII · THE EARLIEST DIFFERENTIATIONS OF POETRY

Reading edition

The translation fails to bring out the simplicity of these two stanzas; they run thus:—

Der Weg ös mer z’wait,

Und der Wold ös mer z’dick,

Bhüat di Gott, main liabs Schotzel,

I wünsch dir viel Glück.

I wünsch dir viel Glück

Und es sull dir guat gian,

Für die Zeit, ols d’mi g’liabt host,

Bedonk i mi schian.
