Beim Scheiden der Sonne erschimmert Der Metilstein freundlich und klar; Dort ragen der Mönch und die Nonne Versteinert als Felsenpaar. "Heil, Heil den Neuvermählten!" Sprach Mönch und Nonne zu mir: "Wir hoffen, die beiden besuchen Recht bald unser tannig Revier. "Da breitet sich ihnen zu Füßen Ihr Erbland in wonnigem Schein - Und wenn sie auch wacker sich küssen, Sie werden d'rum nicht gleich zu Stein."

In the parting rays of the sun shimmers The Metilstein castle amiably and clearly; There loom the monk and nun Turned to stone as a craggy pair. "Hail, hail to the newly united ones!" Spake monk and nun to me; "We hope the two shall very soon Visit our domain of pines. There shall be spread out at their feet Their ancestral lands in lovely glow - And should they kiss each other most heartily, They shall not immediately be turned to stone as a result."
