Christina Rossetti, Brownie, Brownie
Sing-Song XIV
Brownie, Brownie, let down your milk
White as swansdown and smooth as silk,
Fresh as dew and pure as snow:
For I know where the cowslips blow,
And you shall have a cowslip wreath
No sweeter scented than your breath.
Sing-Sang XIV
Wichtel, Wichtel, Milch mir gieß,
schwanenweiß und weich wie Vlies,
frisch wie Tau, wie Schnee so rein:
Kennʼs Versteck der Primelein,
wind den Kranz dir aus der Schar,
duftend süß grad wie dein Haar.
