IN the market-place of Halle | |
| There stand two mighty lions: | |
| O thou lion-pride of Halle, | |
| How greatly art thou tamed! | |
| |
| In the market-place of Halle | 5 |
| There stands a mighty giant; | |
| He hath a sword, yet never stirs,— | |
| He ’s petrified with terror. | |
| |
| In the market-place of Halle | |
| A mighty church is standing, | 10 |
| Where the Burschenschaft and the Landsmannschaft | |
| Have plenty of room for praying. | | | | |
