by Friedrich Wilhelm Weber (1813 - 1894)

Frommes Rößlein, kluges Rößlein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Frommes Rößlein, kluges Rößlein,
Eisen vier will ich dir legen,
Feste Eisen, gute Eisen:
Das ist Donars Hammersegen!

Geh zu Holz und geh zu Hause,
Immer geh auf graden Wegen;
Weit, was unhold ist, entweiche:
Das ist Donars Hammersegen!

Ward dir Weh und ward dir Wunde,
Blut zu Blute soll sich regen,
Bein zu Beine soll sich fügen:
Das ist Donars Hammersegen!

Trag den Reiter, treues Rößlein,
Allem Glücke gern entgegen,
Trag ihn hin und trag ihn wieder:
Das ist Donars Hammersegen!
