by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Letzte Fehde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hurrah! -- Die wälschen Ritter, 
Werft sie vom Hengst herab, 
Schlagt ihre Wehr in Splitter,
Pavia hieß einst ihr Grab! 

Hurrah! -- welch' Schlagen und Schießen, 
Heut geht kein Streich mir fehl,
Und muß ich's am Leibe büßen,
Gott gnad' es meiner Seel'! 

Hurrah! -- Das brennt wie Feuer -- 
So wünsch' ich in letzter Noth 
Dir einen schönen Freier,
Mir einen schönen Tod!
