Der Tag ist hin
The day is gone

Der Tag ist hin,

die Nacht bricht an,

doch bracht’ er Gewinn,

wenn das Werk getan.

The day is gone,

the night sets in,

but it brought gain,

when the work is done.

This melody was only passed on orally. In Europe, this song is also used as a canon exercise at school.
