Every year, old Silvester brings the new year child to earth in his sky sleigh and takes the old year up with him to God's garden. Wilhelm Hartlaub, a friend of Eduard Mrike, lived in Wimsheim near Leonberg. There, on a cold winter's day, the poet went for a walk with the youngest friend of the Hartlaub parsonage, the schoolmaster Amele.
