128. The Mill by the Rivulet.
E. Anshuetz.
German Air.
[Note:—Four or eight children form a mill-wheel in the centre of the ring During the entire song, this wheel moves slowly around The noise of the mill, during the entire song, is imitated by light, rhythmic stamping on the floor with the feet on the part of the children in the ring. At the words " clip, clap." clap­ping with the hands is added The "grinding of the corn " is represented by placing the palms of the hands on each other, and imitating the motion of the mill stones.
At the beginning of the second stanza, each child in the ring revolves the right (or left) arm, in imitation of a wheel. The kneading of dough, and the tossing of the loaves into the oven may also be imitated.]
