Transcription:

5. Doch wenn es nicht immer kann bleiben \ So haltet die Freundschaft recht vest \ Wer weiß denn wie bald uns zertrennt \ Daß Schicksal nach ost und nach west
6. Und sind wir auch fern von einander \ So Bleiben die herzen sich nah \ Und alle ja alle wirds freuen \ Wenn einem was gutes geschah.
7. Und kommen wir wider zusamen \ Auf wechselnder Lebens Bahn \ So knüpfen auf fröhliche ende \ Den fröhlichen anfang an
8. Doch kommen wir nimmer zusammen \ Im wechsel der eilenden Zeit \ So Bleibt doch das pochen des Herzens \ Dem redlichen Freunde geweiht.
Lidia Disler \ Elisabeth Disler \ Catharina Disler
So viel von mir \ Jacob Buchter als \ Euer getreuer freund

Translation:

5. But when it cannot always remain like this, so hold on tight to the friendship. Who knows when fate will separate us to the east and to the west.
6. And even if we are far from each other, our hearts will remain near. And all of them, yes, all of them, will rejoice when something good happens to one of them.
7. And if come back together again on the changing path of life, we attach to the happy ending a happy beginning.
8. But if we never come back together again in the passage of hurrying time, the pounding of the heart nevertheless remains dedicated to the dear friend.
Lidia Disler, Elisabeth Disler, Catharina Disler.
This much from me, Jacob Buchter, as your loyal friend.
December 12th, 1845.
