In a cool ground is a poem by Joseph von Eichendorff , which can also be found under the title The Broken Ringlein .
Text history
In 1807/08, von Eichendorff wrote in his diaries about the unfulfilled love for Käthchen Förster, daughter of a Rohrbach master cooper , to which a memorial stone on the Philosophenweg in Heidelberg commemorates. This breach of loyalty probably inspired Eichendorff to write the poem.
In 1813 the poem was published under the pseudonym "Florens" and under the title Lied in the anthology of German Poets' Forest . Eichendorff also took up the poem in his 1812 and published 1815 novel Anung und Gegenwart , where it was printed for the first time under Eichendorff's own name.
Dubbing
In 1814 Friedrich Glück set the poem to music , which became famous especially as a choral setting by Friedrich Silcher under the title Infidelity . The Comedian Harmonists recorded the song as a shellac record in 1932 in an arrangement by Erwin Bootz . The song was also interpreted by the Renner Ensemble , Singer Pur , Heino , the King's Singers , Hein & Oss , the Fischer Choirs , Freddy Quinn , James Last , Roy Black , Mireille Mathieu , Chanticleer and Max Raabe .

The broken ring.
In a cool ground
There goes a mill wheel
My (a) dearest (b) has disappeared, who
lived there.
She promised me loyalty,
gave me a ring,
she broke loyalty,
my ring broke in two.
I would like to travel
far into the world as a minstrel,
And sing my ways,
And go from house to house.
I would like to fly as a rider
Well into the bloody battle,
To lie around silent fires
In the field at dark night.
I hear the mill wheel go:
I don't know what I want -
I would like to die, then
all of a sudden it would be quiet!
