It was dark, the moon shone bright,
the green meadow was covered in snow,
when a carriage sped by lightning-fast,
slowly turning the corner.

Inside, people were standing seated,
deep in silent conversation,
when a shot rabbit
went ice-skating on the sandy bank.

And a blond-haired young man
with coal-black hair
sat on a green box,
which was painted red.

Next to him, an old spinster,
barely sixteen years old,
held a butter roll in her hand,
which was smeared with lard.
