      Der Bettelmann und der Tod
      von
      Karl Friedrich Drollinger (1688-1742)

      Ein Bettelmann warf seine Krücke
      Voll Unmuts in den tiefen Rhein
      Und sprach, erzürnt auf sein Geschicke,
      O Tod, verkürze meine Pein!
      Der Tod erschien ihm aus Erbarmen.
      Ei, sprach der Bettler, bist Du hier.
      Mein Trost und Stab entfiel mir Armen,
      Ach schwimm ihm nach und hol ihn mir.

      of
      Karl Friedrich Drollinger (1688-1742)

      A Beggar threw his crutch
      Full of resentment in the depths of the Rhine
      And said, angered at his fate,
      O death, shorten my pain!
      Death appeared to him out of pity.
      Egg, voice of the beggar, You're here.
      My comfort and staff was to me poor,
      Oh to swim to him and bring him to me.

      Dave and Gordon, When we were in Germany in 2012, my son, Jeff, and daughter, Danielle, and myself visited the Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland. We were privileged to view the portrait of Karl Friedrich Drollinger. The painting is very old and is in need of some restoration. It was in storage during our visit, but they rotate it on the main show room on a regular basis. Dr. Georgi, Assistant Director, was kind enough to show us the painting in the storage room. Grant
