Wilfried Schaum Lyr Req: German lully in 2nd Upstairs/Downstairs (13) RE: Lyr Req: German lully in 2nd Upstairs/Downstairs 28 Apr 11


Another stanza to the may-beetle song given by susanne(skw), definitely from the 30-years-war:

Bet, Kindlein, bet,
morgen kommt der Schwed,
morgen kommt der Ochenstern,
der wird das Kindlein lern.
Bet, Kindlein, bet.

Pray, little child, pray,
tomorrow the Swede wil come,
tomorrow will come Oxenstierna,
who will teach the cild to pray.
Pray, ...

The Swede: The Swedish army of King Gustaf Adolf.
Oxenstierna: His most famous general.
