Jump by Yourself. 1  1. Choose the right rope. You should find a rope that reaches nearly up to your shoulders when it's folded in half. 2  2. Stand up and pick up the rope. Hold the rope's handles in each of your hands. 3  3. Step over the rope. The rope should hang behind you, so that the middle of the rope hits the back of your feet.
Heinrich Heine-Lorelei. The German poet Heinrich Heine (1799-1856) wrote some lovely poetry-it is almost impossible to translate. The Loreley was later followed by a beautiful melody, which is rather wellknown. I have added two translations into English, so you can see how varied they are.
Die Lorelei is arguably the most famous of German folk songs, certainly it is the best known in the English speaking world. The Lorelei (or Loreley) is a rock on the River Rhine, and herein it becomes a mermaid or siren, doing what these fascinating but deadly creatures do best, luring hapless sailors to their deaths.
