Thue der Bröckchen vier beiseite, Brichst du zufrieden dein täglich Brot: Eins für die Vögel der Himmelsweite, Für die räudigen Hunde das zweite, Und das dritte für Bettlers Noth. Doch das vierte, still sollst du's legen, Eh' du den Riegel geschoben vor, Deinem Feinde zum Friedenssegen, [-- (Der ihn geleite auf seinen Wegen,) --]1 Neben den Klopfer an deinem Thor.

Set four pieces aside when you Contentedly break your daily bread: One for the birds of the broad heavens, The second for the mangy dogs, And the third for the need of the beggar. But the fourth one, before you bolt your door You shall quietly place it As a blessing of peace for your enemy, [-- (To accompany him upon his way,) --]1 Beside the knocker upon your gate.
