“Wenn freundschaft sich die hande reicht,
Dann is der Weg durch’s leben leicht.
Wo Lieb‘ und Treu‘ im Herzen wohnt,
Da wird mit Erdenglück gelohnt.”
(Translated: When friendship is enough,
Then the way through living is easy.
Where Love and Faithful dwell in the heart,
It is worth it with earthly happiness.)
