from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Rose Amy Fyleman (1877 - 1957)

Horses
Language: English  after the Danish (Dansk) 
My father has four horses 
Each in its stall
Mine is the brown one, 
He’s the best of all.
You can have the gray one,
Lars can have the black.
But father always rides the mare 
Into town and back.
