Original text and translations

German text „Wo gehst du hin, du schönes Kind?" „Zu melken, Herr!" —sprach Gotelind. „Wer ist dein Vater, du schönes Kind?" „Der Müller im Tal!" —sprach Gotelind. „Wie, wenn ich dich freite, schönes Kind?" „Zu viel der Ehre!" —sprach Gotelind. „Was hast du zur Mitgift, schönes Kind?" „Herr, mein Gesichte!" —sprach Gotelind. „So kann ich dich nicht wohl frein, mein Kind." „Wer hat's Euch geheißen?" —sprach Gotelind

English translation "Where are you going, pretty child?" "Milking, Lord!" said Gotelind. "Who is your father, pretty child?" "The miller in the vale!" said Gotelind. "What if I marry you, pretty child?" "Too great an honor!" said Gotelind. "What have you for a dowry, pretty child?" "My face, Lord!" said Gotelind. "Then I guess I can't marry you, my child." "Who told you to?" said Gotelind.
