Language: German (Deutsch)

Vor dem Walde in einem Thale
Tandareidei
Sang so süß die Nachtigal.

Below the number at the top of the text are the following words: "(Dieses ist ein wirkliches Volkslied, welches ich am Rheine gehört.)" which can be translated "This is a real folksong that I heard on the Rhein".
