And with the rhinoceros grazing,
The mammoth was seen in the glade.
Now we from the driving ice fast-time
Are useful, although it be late,
And to heathen and Christian for pastime
Give stones for the Church and the State.

Two geologists made up this ditty
In the vale between Aaré and Reuss;
And the inn where they sang it, so witty,
