A CHAPTER ABOUT SCHNADAHUPFLN. 373 



1. 



A good Schnadahupfl 



Must be bold and daring ; 

 Must climb the high mountains, 



For no danger caring. 



2,3. 

 A good Schnadahiipfl 



Is a bird in a wood, 

 If drooping and moaning, 



A sign that's not good. 

 For a good Schnadahiipfl 



Is the dance of a song, 

 And a sorrowful dance, 'faith, 



It does not last long. 



4. 

 And a good Schnadahiipfl 



Leads a right merry life, 

 Like an old wandering fifer 



Gladdens all with his fife. 



5. 



And a good Schnadahiipfl 



Is a flower of the field ; 

 True, 'tis not much heeded, 



Yet all like the chield. 



6. 

 I want but a flow 'ret, 



No posy want I ; 

 And a kiss now and then too 



You must not deny. 



7. 

 Now, don't ye refuse me 



I Ve only had two ! 

 Come, give me the third kiss 



"Tis no good to you. 



8. 

 And as true as clouds oft dim 



The blue sky above, 

 So as true without jealousy 



Never was love.
