The wine they drink in Paradise They make in Haute Lorraine;
God brought it burning from the sod To be a sign and signal rod That they that drink the blood of God Shall never thirst again.

The apple wine of Herford,

The road of the silent saints accord,
The road from heaven to Herford,
Where the apple wood of Herford Goes all the way to Wales.
