Brüder, lasst uns lustig sein

Brüder, lasst uns lustig sein, 
trotzet wacker den Beschwerden, 
denkt, es ist der Fluch der Erden:
Jeder Mensch hat seine Pein. 
 
Lasst uns singen, lasst uns lachen,
kann mans doch nicht anders machen.
Welt und Not ist einerlei,
keiner bleibt von Plagen frei.

by Johann Andreas Schachtner
