Ritter ohne Furcht und Tadel -- [Rozhinkes mit Mandlen]

Ritter and Reiter are syn.
                    >>> Low German has riddere, with short vowel and geminate. Middle High German forms seem to have varied between long and short vowel, riter vs. rîter respectively, the latter giving rise to the separate word Ritter (“knight”). Lachmann (1827) noted that Middle High German poetry avoided use of the word in rhyming position, indicating that the two forms were used interchangeably.[1]

"Rozhinkes mit Mandlen" translates to "Raisins and Almonds" in Yiddish. It's a traditional Jewish lullaby popularized by the arrangement of Abraham Goldfaden (1840-1908) for his 1880 Yiddish musical "Shulamis."
