"Graut Liebchen auch?āDer Mond scheint hell! Hurrah! die Todten reiten schnell! Graut Liebchen auch vor Todten-"ā "Ach nein!āDoch lass die Todten!" ā "What ails my love?āThe moon shines bright! Hurray! The Dead ride fast! Is my love afraid of the dead-"ā "Ah! no; - let them sleep in their dusty bed!"ā
ā excerpt from the 20th stanza of Gottfried August Bürger' s Lenore / 1773
