... that "Geh aus, mein Herz, und suche Freud" (pictured), written by Paul Gerhardt after the Thirty Years War, was translated as "Go Forth, My Heart, and Seek Delight"?

Reviewed: Giant mouse lemur

5x expanded by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self nominated at 22:31, 15 January 2015 (UTC).

ALT1: ... that Paul Gerhardt's 1653 lyrics for "Geh aus, mein Herz, und suche Freud" ("Go Forth, My Heart, and Seek Delight", pictured ) have been sung to several melodies, the most popular one dating from 1836?
ALT2: ... that, as I denna ljuva sommartid ("In This Sweet Summertime"), Paul Gerhardt's 1653 hymn "Geh aus, mein Herz, und suche Freud" (pictured) has become a popular graduation song in Sweden?

I added two ALTs to make the nomination more interesting. --George Ho (talk) 20:21, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for trying. I don't like the two brackets in a row, and don't think we need the first line in three languages. If you could word the contrast of war and a (at least in the beginning) light summer hymn, I would appreciate it, - or this idea to become a "good tree" in the Lord's garden which I don't recall anywhere else. It's my mom's favourite song, DYK? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:42, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Creating a hook fewer than 200 characters isn't easy. Actually, the image won't be used if the hook doesn't become a lead. George Ho (talk) 00:26, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
By the way, I don't know if I should call it a hymn or a poem. If a poem, can you hymn → poem? Thank you. George Ho (talk) 00:30, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

It IS a hymn and a song. I use {{infobox musical composition}} for all kinds of music (but opera), as I use "person" for all people. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:01, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Hymns are all songs. Miscellaneous comma and preposition grammar fixes to hooks. Nothing in WP:HOOK requires the translation in ALT2. (It's generally advisable, but kinda cluttered here with the Swedish.)
[Edit: Swedish translation is interesting, though, and still gives people a reason to click the link to see what all that German is on about.] — LlywelynII 05:50, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

* If you believe that all hymns are songs, join the discussion about infobox hymn (link comes with the template) where people defend that hymns need an extra infobox type. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:52, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:44, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Article has been expanded from 333 bytes of prose to 2665 bytes, exactly 1000 more than the limit for 5x. Main hook is cited to reliable online sources (schade Gerda aber kann Ich nicht Deutsch gut lesen). Image is public domain. A clean bill of health on the copyvio checker.
