We sing: A boy — a girl — says: From Sem 17 Jassrfjundert The first spring messengers are hardly in the country, when the people already blow the spell of winter care and now immediately With full sails of hope jump into the coming rise. In carnival and mummenschance the joy expresses itself 9 $ in life, but also the request for life. Ver Winter is gone — gen, ie feh SesMai-en Shjein, Fastnacht het on sich nicht nicht mit "fasten" to do, but with feh feh die Blümlein pran — gen ,Ses is meinherz er- rejoicing. "feel" and "fear", with live and swarm and grow. The oden forest says it "feels" when it thinks of the growth time of S field and Gorten. So behind this word lies the term of 8 & 4 è fertility and breeding.
