‎

There is someone on earth, go, my spinning wheel! Steady, spin, go your course, and softly say your sweet refrain, There is someone on earth, to whom my dreams go. He is in the valley, go, my spinning wheel! Steady, spin, go your course, and and softly say your sweet refrain, There is in the valley, a mill near the bridge. Love grinds its seed there, go, my spinning wheel! Steady, spin, go your course, and softly say your sweet refrain, Love grinds its seed, while the day is long. The night towards the stars, go, my spinning wheel! Steady, spin, go your course, and softly say your sweet refrain, The night to the stars, sighs its song. The wheel is broken. Go, my spinning wheel! Steady, spin, go your course, and softly say your sweet refrain, The wheel is broken. Finished is the song.
