German.png German text

Was hilfft den reichen gelt und gut/
 und grosser pracht auff erden/
 ob er die Welt gleich gwinnen thut/
 muß er doch Aschen werden/
 und fahrn dahin/
 Gott weiß wohin,
 der todt ist dann sein letzter gwin.

What helps riches, money and goods/
 and great splendor on earth/
 though you win the whole world/
 you will become ashes
 and will depart/
 God knows where/
 death is then your final gain.
