German love poetry

From Afternoons, 1:43 pm on 12 March 2019

Yesterday on the show Jesse made some disparaging comments suggesting that the German language was perhaps not the most beautiful sounding language in the world - particularly for things like love poetry.

Naturally a few German speakers felt he was quite wrong, so we invited a fluent German speaker onto the show to read us a love poem in German.

That person is Justin Lester - whose day job is Mayor of Wellington
