Der stille Trinker

Our translations:  ENG
Sie schwenkten die Kannen
Und priesen die Mädchen,
Marien und Annen,
Lieschen  und Kätchen.
Nur einer sass in der Ecke allein,
Stumm, beim Wein;
Der musste wohl ohne Liebchen sein. 

Die Wächter riefen
Und bliesen Zwei;
Die Zecher schliefen
Auf Stroh und Heu. 
Der stille Trinker allein nicht schlief,
Stand auf und lief --
Wohin? -- Weiss ich's? -- Stille Wasser sind tief!
