A girl from Brakel once went to St. Anne's Chapel at the foot of the Hinnenberg, and as she wanted to have a husband, and thought there was no one else in the chapel, she sang,
En pige fra Brakel gik en gang til St. Annas kapel i Hindenborg. Hun ville meget gerne giftes, og da hun tænkte, at St. Anna kunne hjælpe hende sang hun:
"Oh, holy Saint Anne!
"Hellige Anna, kunne du blot skaffe mig, stakkels
Help me soon to a man.
pige, en mand, kunne du blot, og jeg ved jo godt,
Thou know'st him right well,
at når du rigtig vil det, du kan. Du ved jo, for
By Suttmer gate does he dwell,
hvem mit hjerte slår, han bor kun et lille stykke
His hair it is golden,
herfra, han har klare øjne og krøllet hår, hellige
Thou know'st him right well."
Anna, ham vil jeg ha'."
The clerk, however, was standing behind the altar and heard that, so he cried in a very gruff voice, "Thou shalt not have him! Thou shalt not have him!" The maiden thought that the child Mary who stood by her mother Anne had called out that to her, and was angry, and cried, "Fiddle de dee, conceited thing, hold your tongue, and let your mother speak!"
Degnen stod bag alteret og hørte det og råbte med en ganske tynd stemme: "Du får ham ikke, du får ham ikke." Pigen troede, at det var det lille Jesubarn, der stod ved siden af gamle mor Anna, som havde svaret og råbte vredt: "Hold mund, din dumme unge, og lad din mor tale."
