by Johann Nepomuk Vogl (1802 - 1866)

Bergmanns‑Toast
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Jeder wackre Bergmann lebe,
D'rauf, ihr Brüder, leert das Glas,
Ob ihn Tagesglanz umwebe,
Ob er schlafe unterm Gras!
 
Jeder wackre Bergmann lebe,
Der da Klotz and Fäustel schwingt,
Daß der Schacht die Erze gebe,
Die nur Muth zu Tage bringt.
 
Jeder wackre Bergmann lebe,
Der noch treuen Sinn bewahrt,
Und ein guter Engel schwebe
Stets um ihn auf Baum und Fahrt.
 
Jeder wackre Bergmann lebe,
Wie ihn Nacht und Grau'n umweht,
Jeder nütze, jeder strebe,
Bis der Bau zusammengeht!

Confirmed with Aus der Teufe. Bergmännische Dichtungen von Dr. Johann Nep. Vogl, zweite vermehrte Auflage, Wien: Verlag von Carl Gerold's Sohn, 1856, page 54
