Let us fling

Reimann, Aribert

Let us fling to the winds all moping and madness,

Play us a jig in the spirit of gladness

On the creaky old squeaky strings of the fiddle.

The why of the world is an answerless riddle

Puzzlesome, tiresome, hard to unriddle.

To the seventeen devils with sapient sadness:

Tra la, tra la.
