Looked a boy
A little rose!

Röslein defended himself and stabbed,
Do not hurt him,
Must he suffer it

The  Schwabian Railroad. Card IV.

This text is an excerpt from a longer poem.

Here is a translation from the longer poem:

Swabian Railroad Transportation
Stops at many a strange location
Shtoogert, Oolm and Beeberoch
Meckaboira, Doorlesboch.

On the Swabian iron horse
A farmer wants to ride, of course
Went to the counter, tipped his hat
Ticket please, and that is that

He had bought a goat that day
And so it wouldn’t run away
He tied it to the train’s caboose
With a strong and sturdy noose

Now, my goat, run straight ahead
When we stop you will be fed
Farmer said and lit his pipe,
Sitting down next to his wife

At a whistlestop he found
Only goat’s head dangling, bound
To the hook at train’s rear end
This was not what he has meant

Anger now grew in our peasant
Using words lots less than pleasant
Flung the head, what daring deed
Right before conductor’s feet

That’s the ballad, as you see
Of a tragic odyssey
Of a goat, a Swabian train,
A farmer cursing all in vain
