   Zogen     einst   fünf   wilde     Schwäne     Schwäne   leuchtend   weiß und  schön.
   Zogen     einst   fünf   junge     Burschen    Stolz und kühn zum    Kampf hinaus.
   Wuchsen   einst   fünf   junge     Birken      Grün und  frisch am   Bachesrand.
   Wuchsen   einst   fünf   junge     Mädchen     Schlank und schön am  Memelstrand.
