 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Fein Rößlein, ich 
Beschlage dich,
Sei frisch und fromm,
Und wieder komm!

Trag deinen Herrn
Stets treu dem Stern,
Der seiner Bahn
Hell glänzt voran.

Bergab, bergauf
Mach flinken Lauf,
Leicht wie die Luft
Durch Strom und Kluft!

Trag auf dem Ritt
Mit jedem Tritt
Den Reiter du
Dem Himmel zu!

Nun Rößlein, ich
Beschlage dich,
Sei frisch und fromm,
Und wieder komm!
