Let your moderation be known unto all men the Lord is at hand! Be careful for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your requests be known unto God and the peace of God, which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ our Lord.

So tret ich hie auf einen Stein: Gott grüss mirs zart Jungfräuelein! Und grüss euch Gott allsamt geleich, sie seien arm oder reich, Gott grüss euch all in einer G’mein, darzu auch die klein! So ich ein grüss, die ander nit, so wär ich kein rechter Singer nit! Right pleased am I to join this dance, I hope a beautiful young maiden will give me a garland Then I will be her own So I step up here upon a stone Tender maiden may God greet you and may God greet all here the same, be they poor or rich God greet everyone together here, even the little ones! Because if I greet one and not the other, I would not be a true singer!  less

Around our shadowy table placed, The spectral bowl before us floats: With wine that none but ghosts can taste, We wash our unsubstantial throats. Three merry ghosts—three merry ghosts— three merry ghosts are we: Let the ocean be port, and we’ll think it good sport To be laid in that red sea. With songs that jovial spectres chaunt, Our old refectory still we haunt. The traveller hears our midnight mirth: "O list!" he cries, "the haunted choir!" The merriest ghost that walks the earth, Is sure the ghost of a ghostly friar. Three merry ghosts—three merry ghosts— three merry ghosts are we: Let the ocean be port, and we’ll think it good sport To be laid in that red sea.  less
