(From Sinkwiz)
Translated by Ed Bernthal

In Preischwiz there served a young girl,
In Preischwiz there served a young girl,
Whose name was Annelein.

In the morning she picked the roses,
In the morning she picked the roses,
In the evening she made a fine wreath.

She looked up at the army of stars,
She looked up at the army of stars,
And saw that she would not live much longer.

And it happened that by midnight,
And it happened that by midnight,
The young girl was very sick and weak.

“Go to the carpenter, my father,
Go to the carpenter, my father,
Have him make me a small casket.”

“I saw it in the army of stars,
I saw it in the army of stars,
That I would not live much longer.”

The sun came up like gold,
The sun came up like gold,
Peacefully the little girl’s life ended.
