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,
 ... 
Neben den Klopfer an deinem Thor.

Set four pieces aside

(Sung text translation for setting by H. Schmid)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

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,
 ... 
Beside the knocker upon your gate.
