Songs
Röschen biß den Apfel an
(1923)
Op. 33
Part of a series or song cycle:
Alte Weisen (Op. 33 )
Röschen biß den Apfel an
Röschen biß den Apfel an,
Und zu ihrem Schrecken
Brach und blieb ein Perlenzahn
In dem Butzen stecken.
Und das gute Kind vergaß
Seine Morgenlieder;
Tränen ohne Unterlaß
Perlten nun hernieder.
Rosie bit into the apple
Rosie bit into the apple,
And to her horror
A pearly tooth broke
And stuck in the core.
And the good child forgot
Her morning songs;
Tears without end
Came pearling down.
