Bei einem Wirte, wundermild
Language: German (Deutsch)
Bei einem Wirte, wundermild, Da war ich [jüngst zu Gaste]1, Ein gold'ner Apfel war sein Schild An einem [langen]2 Aste. Es war der gute Apfelbaum, Bei dem ich eingekehret, Mit [süsser]3 Kost und frischem Schaum Hat er mich wohl genähret. Es kamen in sein grünes Haus Viel leichtbeschwingte Gäste; Sie sprangen frei und hielten Schmaus Und sangen auf das Beste. Ich fand ein Bett zu süsser Ruh Auf weichen grünen Matten; Der Wirt, er deckte selbst mich zu Mit seinem [kühlen]2 Schatten. Nun fragt' ich nach der Schuldigkeit, Da schüttelt' er den Wipfel. Gesegnet sei er allezeit Von der Wurzel bis zum Gipfel.

Stopping at an inn
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
In the abode of an innkeeper, wondrously gentle, I was [recently]1 a guest. The emblem of the inn was a golden apple Upon a [long]2 branch. It was the good old apple tree -- [That was the inn] at which I stopped, With [sweet]3 sustenance and a freshly foaming drink It nourished me well. Into its green abode Many light-winged guests came; They hopped about freely and feasted And sang their very best. Upon the soft green meadows I found a bed for sweet repose; The innkeeper himself covered me up With his [cool]2 shadow. When I asked for the bill, He shook his leafy locks [in negation]. May he be blessed at all times From his roots to the tips of his lofty branches.
