_First Student:_
See the Dutchmen on those settees:
Isn't it like the Rhine?
And the old church-tower up over the trees--
Kellner! Noch ein Stein!
_Third Student:_
I'd like to work with those masons there
Half way up the sky.
The air is sweet where the pigeons build,
And the world is all in their eye.
_Second Student:_
But "Love is of the valley:" the Gretchen and the Kellner
Haunt the cheerful levels of the lower story.
Glory in the garret--comfort in the cellar:
I will keep the comfort--you may take the glory.
