Surprise

The sister called her brother out into the sunshine:

"Come, oh brother, into the bright sunshine,

That we may warm ourselves by the sunbeam,

And gaze upon the glorious view there!

See the wedding party, adorned with bouquets!

Hail the house to which they go!

Whose house might it be that awaits the procession?

Whose mother shall distribute the gifts?

Whose brother shall drink wine with them?

Whose sister shall sit among them?" --

But her brother replied to her:

"Little sister, be happy and joyful!

It is our house that awaits the guests,

Our mother who distributes the gifts,

I the brother who drinks wine with them,

You the sister who sits among them."
