by Otto Julius Bierbaum (1865 - 1910)

Sankt Jörg
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ich bin Sankt Jörg,
Steh auf dem Berg, 
Steh auf der Wache.
Schlug ich auch tot
Den Wurm der Not:
Der alte Drache
Ließ junge Brut,
Die nimmer ruht;
Sie schleicht im Tale.
Ich bin bereit
Und führ den Streit
Zum andern Male.

Confirmed with Otto Julius Bierbaum, Der neubestellte Irrgarten der Liebe um etliche Gaenge und Lauben vermehrt, Leipzig: Insel-Verlag, MDCCCCVI (1898), page 29.
