Im Märchenlande.
Haben Sie was zu verzollen?
fragte mich eine knarrende Stimme und riss mich aus meinen schönen Waldträumereien.
Wo war ich denn?
Ich suchte mich zu besinnen.
Nein, es war keine Täuschung.
Ich spazierte im Walde am 1. Mai, einem so wonnigen Frühlingstage,
wie man sie in der Wirklichkeit selten erlebt.
Hier lief der schmale Waldweg.
Behind me I had just admired the two fir-trees,
which raked right and left on the path up into the sky.
At the top their branches fluttered in each other
and formed such a gate through which I had walked.
In the branches sang some sparrows
and many other birds louder or quieter.
So all of this was real.
Where did the voice and the question come from?
Do you have something to cheat?
I looked around me in search of it.
That's right.
There was a little man standing in the sprouting fern
with a face that seemed wonderfully familiar to me.
Where had I already seen this leather-brown face
with the many wrinkles,
the stubby grey-green beard and the black eyes?
The little one was not taller than the tree stump
which served me as a table in the forest
and on which I used to write.
And now it occurs to me, just like that stump,
what the little man looked like.
How often did the children and I clearly discover a figure and a face
in his bark, in the small branches.
Now he was standing in front of me.
Well, one could already experience something in the forest at springtime.
So I did not show my astonishment,
but only asked calmly,
What do you mean?
Since when has the customs been introduced here in the forest?
As long as there is a fairytale land,
the little one murmured.
Or do the people believe it did not go as well with us as with you?
But don't stop me, madam.
Do you have something to cheat?
And into the bath he murmured,
It is incomprehensible that the border guards let you in.
You have enough to do today.
But the two are unpredictable.
Recently with the old forester,
who at least understands the forest,
they have taught him
that the old man will not come back that way so soon.
And they let you nothing, me nothing,
just come to this hour.
He asked loudly for the third time.
Do you have something to cheat?
And this time in the tone of the deepest bitterness.
I thought of all the borders I had already crossed.
What did I do in Holland, in England, in Russia,
in Germany, in Switzerland, in Italy,
when this question was asked of me?
Well, now the just answer came to me
and I replied very politely,
Please, see for yourself.
So I held my basket to him,
which I had taken with me to collect moss,
which only contained my knitting.
The old, strange customs guard,
of the country unknown to me,
put the basket in front of him on the ground and whistled.
Trap, trap, trap, it sounded on the dry forest path,
and a shark came in a hurry,
which in the distance looked like
the many red-brown beech leaves of the previous year,
which covered the ground.
But nearby there were small men again,
and this time soldiers in brown uniforms,
with lances, who surrounded me,
so that I was surrounded from all sides
and it was not so easy to think of an evasion.
The customs officer knelt under it in front of my basket
and pulled out my knitting.
While he was buzzing in the bathroom
and the soldiers were always helpful,
to check the endlessly long needles for them,
I looked around for the green tannery gate,
through which I had just come,
and considered whether it would be more advisable
to return to pilgrimage,
than to get involved in customs affairs
on these wonderful days.
To my surprise, the two tannery giants
had now turned into real giants.
Although I could only see their heads
when I looked up at the sky.
Up there, above me,
they had dressed each other up
and spoke to each other,
which sounded like a gentle rustling down here.
But now I saw the wide, big heads
waving back and forth
and it sounded like a huge laugh,
which sounded so cheerful and refreshing,
that I agreed wholeheartedly.
The customs officer stood up and shouted,
What are you laughing at, madam?
Do you want to make fun of us?
No, I shouted cheerfully.
Good man, nothing is more dear to me.
But maybe you don't want to tell me
what your purpose is
and where I am going?
Look at the giants behind me.
A few minutes ago, I swore
that we would continue as usual.
I had no choice
but to take a little walk in the forest
and must have been mistaken.
In any case, you are here in the fairyland,
the customs officer replied.
It is just as incomprehensible to me as to you, madam,
that you have come here,
because the giants behind us,
which you like to call tannins,
are loyal guards
and so easily don't let anyone in
who has nothing to look for here,
especially today on the wedding day.
Listen, I shouted triumphantly.
You are mistaken,
thorough customs officer.
I belong to the fairyland
with a better right than you,
because I am a Sunday child
and also the fairytale aunt.
And since the good giants
will not let me go so soon,
I will definitely take part in the wedding.
I saw how my confident words
put the little one and his soldiers in a state of unrest.
They were touching each other.
Then the customs officer stepped up to me,
this time he pulled his hat politely
and said with the softest voice,
We cannot and must not point you out,
because you have found an entrance once.
But you have to promise
to keep our customs and customs here.
Hi, you can understand that yourself,
I said.
In Rome I am a Roman,
so in the fairytale land a ...
Yes, what?
Do you want to enchant me
or give me another suitable figure
for your kingdom and your life?
Just leave me as I am,
as the simple fairytale aunt,
quietly go my way.
I don't want to bother you.
I bent down to pick up my knitting basket again.
But the little fairytale man
came up to us and said,
No, the needles are dangerous tools.
Who can know it?
In these times the evil penetrates everywhere.
Especially today, when the wedding is celebrated,
you could think of murder and death
and look for our most merciful ruler
for life.
Yes, yes, we already know
through people.
Where you penetrate,
there is also discord, murder, death.
Listen!
I interrupted him very seriously,
because the little one started to annoy me.
In our country it is not usual
to accuse harmless people
of suspicion.
By the way, I'm not in the mood
to make further acquaintances
in your fairytale land.
I already have enough of yours.
Farewell, I'll go home,
if you know better.
I turned around
and the customs officers
and his soldiers were not satisfied.
The old man said,
No, it's not that bad.
We must not scare you away,
because since you are here,
our ruler has determined it
and has some intention with it.
But you don't have to annoy us
if we do our duty.
I have to keep
these steel needles here.
But don't worry,
you'll get the things back.
If you wanted to go back,
you can't do that anymore.
See, the gates are closed.
Right, behind me,
the customs officers
had crossed their mighty arms,
which was unthinkable.
And now they were calling
and their words sounded down
to us like a great rush.
Forward, forward,
only step further.
Soon you will be in the middle
of the fairy tale land.
Not without purpose,
not without goal.
Everything is already happening
as the young king wants.
The customs officer
stepped up to me
and held me a large green linden leaf.
On it were all hand-written
runes.
Take, he asked.
My soldiers will guide you.
Since you are the fairy tale aunt,
it may well be that the young king
has something special in store for you today.
Just remember one thing.
Now on the way you may still ask
and you will be given
speech and answer.
But if you are at the post,
then be silent if you love yours and our lives
and do everything the Führer
wants from you.
Maybe then the great story will go well.
Know, madam, that you are the first
to go with us today.
I was in a hurry.
Yes, that was a blessing.
Isn't it nice to know that you
will experience something that no one
has ever experienced before?
So I nodded to the young king
and continued on the way,
surrounded by the brown
soldiers, who spoke
with half a loud voice,
but in a rough language
that I could not understand.
After a few steps we stopped
and one of the gunmen
carried a bright green star
and I did not treat him unjustly
for a captain.
He said politely,
You are too kind to be measured.
What for?
I asked, because I still had
a right to be curious.
The tailor Spinner lives here,
I was told.
She should give you the old
camouflage Siegfried a little
support, because I can't
cut a new one so quickly.
You have to have one,
because only then can you see
and understand everything without
fear and disturbance in the
upcoming festival, because
you remain invisible.
The soldiers formed a spire
and through the same ran
a long-legged spider,
in front of which, to my amazement,
the soldiers bowed very low.
Behind the spider glittered
a lot of the most beautiful
color-shimmering eidex.
They carried and
pulled a gray package
with them. The spider
came up to me and I had to
pull myself together not to
turn back in front of the little one,
because I had a tendency
towards the long-legged ones,
whether I wanted to meet them
in the morning, noon or evening.
She looked up at me cleverly
and said to the eidex,
Roll your bodies apart!
Against Siegfried this woman
is just as dwarfish as we
are against her.
You will have to cut skillfully
so that the thing sits reasonably
and does not drag on.
The eidexes had
broken up the transparent
gray fabric in a twist.
It covered a long distance
of the way. The spider,
which once again looked at me
checking my size,
ran quickly over the fabrics,
crosswise and crosswise, pulling
a long thread over it.
Then she said,
Now get down to work, you cutters!
Hey, like the storm wind
the fresh ones were jumping by,
very old, which looked
very well-nourished and very
white, and very small
slim jumpers.
After the thread of the spider
it went restlessly back and forth
over the fabric, and I could see
how the fabric was cut sharply
and finely at the threads.
They jumped down, their work
done, and probably out of joy
they began to quack loudly.
Roll the excess fabric
together,
the spider attacks.
Don't forget to scatter thyme and tobacco
in between, because you can assume
that many millennia pass before
you have to use it again.
The eidexes did as they were
commanded, and soon
there was only a long-cut
cap on the forest floor.
So it was
for me.
But how could one put it on me?
I could have
done it myself,
but I didn't dare to touch
the spider-fine fabric.
It had to fall apart.
The animals didn't seem to expect that either.
The eidexes were hardly
finished with the fabric remains,
so the silence was set
in the air by a gentle fan.
And when I looked up,
such wonderful butterflies
that I still believe
they were once from the tropical
forests.
They were deep blue, large animals,
but also purple, red,
glowing yellow, and some
black.
Quietly they hovered down,
from all sides they touched
the edge of the cap.
And right, it hovered higher
and higher above my head.
The spider counted
one, two,
three.
Then the wonderful butterflies
let the veil fall over me
and now began to dance
among each other,
a tender hover and bow,
like the finely practiced
dance of great dancers.
I didn't feel anything from the cap
that lifted me up,
but I was sure
I had become invisible to the animals.
They came up to me fearlessly.
There seemed to be no obstacle to them.
The butterflies flew right through me,
without causing them
or me any discomfort.
It surprised me just as much
that I suddenly heard
many thousands of different voices,
and could soon tell
what was being said about me.
Do you see the wedding procession?
Oh, what have the bridesmaids
put on their faces!
That's what the bridesmaids
whispered to each other next to me.
Come on, we have to hurry,
or we'll miss the best places!
the butterflies shouted.
I decided to follow them.
I was surrounded by a feeling
of the most diverse creatures.
They had to be the birch youngsters,
delicate figures
in white robes
and waving green veils.
At the bottom of the path
a regiment of different mushrooms
was moving, edible and poisonous,
but the harmful ones
were especially deliciously decorated.
The sky was not visible above me,
because there were
wood pigeons, sparrows,
ducks and whatever
they liked to be called.
Tap-trap!
Deer, deer, rabbits
broke through and fled.
Right after that,
a flock of seagulls,
then a herd of snails.
I had to be careful
not to hurt any creature,
one of the wandering plants,
but I kept moving forward,
until I discovered
that it did not disperse itself.
I did not touch the ground,
I was floating,
or my steps were so light
that they did not cause any harm.
Now I was in a hurry,
because I also wanted
to find a good place,
although I did not know
where or what for,
but the general pressure,
the happy moving forward,
made me think of the
advice of the good customs officer
and kept silent.
When I tried to talk to
a shiny, gravitational deer beetle,
my voice had lost all sound
and I was satisfied,
because I was sure
not to hurt the command of silence
in the surprise.
The forest lit up,
we came to a meadow.
Back there, where the trees
were growing again,
completely covered with shimmering
water roses, surrounded by
meadows of mourning,
the orchestra was gathering there.
Grills, frogs, may bugs
were among the string instruments,
because they squeaked terribly
and strummed restlessly
to achieve the A
that the star unceasingly whistled to them.
The thousands of birds
were the singers, that was clear,
and all the other animals
were divided into different
groups of instruments,
the guard snored,
the speck trummeted and so on.
In the middle of the forest meadow
a green tone was set up,
which I noticed that something
royal was expected.
There was a strangely bright daylight,
blinding like the lightning,
and it became brighter and brighter.
There were always new flocks.
Tender little elves,
they called some fat toads,
who had caught posto next to me.
The little elves
were in colorful garments.
They were light and bendy,
like the early fog,
like the linden clouds,
and moved from all corners.
The ones from the meadow,
said the one toad to her companion
when a flock of elves
came out of the pond,
then after a while.
The ones from the crowns,
those were the ones
that floated down from the height,
now a warlike melody
could be heard,
and a company marched,
no, a herd,
as my neighbor called themselves.
The regiment of the root people!
They were brave soldiers,
but all already tall in the years,
with white or gray long beards,
on the main green helmet
over completely weathered faces,
but in a quick march
in the parade step
the wavering old ones.
Then came the regiment
of the fir-trees.
Those were the boys,
in brown skirts,
with green buttons
and pointed hats.
It was a great splendor.
All fields, gardens
and meadows gathered,
and the hustle and bustle
became more and more dangerous.
The light was getting brighter
and brighter.
It flickered before my eyes.
And finally the forest meadow,
the forest, the meadow,
dived into a deep red light.
At the same time
the choir of the birds,
as I have never heard before,
and will never hear again,
was singing.
We will take for a while
the fink, the amse, the cuckoo.
But there were thousands
of every kind of bird here.
The larks were cheering here,
the swallows were chirping,
they were all singing together.
Then
they all stopped on a sign.
Over the forest meadow
slowly descended from the sky
a rosy red cloud,
from which all the light
went out.
It touched the ground.
It was shaped like a wonder shell.
And in it sat a beautiful young man
and next to him
a woman in pink robes,
covered,
remarkably lovely,
with radiant eyes
and a smile so full of tenderness
and bliss that it had to
penetrate every heart.
I would have liked to ask a question,
but I thought of silence.
And at the same time,
Aunt Tortoise 1 said to Aunt Tortoise 2,
Now this time the queen,
our most gracious
Mrs. Morgenröte, looks much fresher.
Do you remember
how she was covered
with a lovely raincoat
that you couldn't see from her?
Yes, and King Lenz
had a big coat on,
buried his hands deep in the coat
in front of him
and shortened every ceremony.
He was happy when it was over.
But this year he is also
cheerful and good things,
there is a happy celebration.
At the moment when the shell
touched the ground,
the choir of countless nightingales
who heard the noblest,
most beautiful music
of the two artists,
the great sound creators
of all times,
never experienced
what I got to hear.
It was unearthly singing,
so full of love,
full of beauty and comfort.
Not a leaf moved,
the thousands of various beings
stood silent,
with held breath.
Tears came out of my eyes.
From the heavenly choir
the voice of a nightingale rose up.
Our old mistress,
murmured the tortoise,
the only one who could
whisper even now.
This one nightingale sang
and I could understand
every word.
She sang of the meaning of the day,
of the big wedding.
She sang of the wonderful
King Lenz
and his wife who came
to bring happiness
to all this year's couples.
She sang of the suffering of life
and of his happiness
and of the festive days
of love, of summer.
In the end,
the nightingales fell first,
then the other bird choirs,
finally the string music,
the trumpets and trumpets
and with mighty chords
accompanied the forest organ.
Was it a sudden wind
that blew through the treetops?
I don't know.
It was the buzzing of an organ.
All of a sudden,
everything was silent.
King and queen left the mosque
and ascended the throne.
Then the ruler waved.
There appeared eleven boys
with silver rods.
They stood up after the throne
and shouted,
So we open
in the name of the king and his wife
this wedding day.
All who have come
may move forward
in pairs in front of the throne.
The gifts will be distributed.
Then all the animals of the forest
moved in,
the four-legged ones,
as well as the birds,
the butterflies,
the ibexes, the beetles,
the herbs, grasses, flowers,
all moved in.
An endless procession.
Each couple stood in front of the king
and his wife
and bowed.
The eleven boys distributed gifts,
golden grains and flashing dewdrops,
and the ruler's couple
said blessed words.
It was wonderful.
I could have seen it endlessly.
The nightingales were still whistling
or cheering the fairies.
It was so quiet and peaceful,
so full of light and shine,
that I was grateful
to finally be
in the hot fairyland.
But like a storm,
a wild swarm broke in.
It fell out of the small path
to the left of us.
I knew it led to the next village.
In front of everyone
there was a beautiful,
big farm girl
in wedding jewelry.
On her head the high crown of honor,
in her hands large sprinkles,
amida fluttering ribbons.
But the crown
was moved by the fast running.
The flowers in her hands
were carelessly thrown aside,
because the girl
ran to her eyes with her hands and cried bitterly.
Behind her came
his old farmer.
He was very angry,
swung a knotting stick
and yelled at the girl.
His long skirt-shoes fluttered
and when he was running in a hurry
he had lost his cap from his gray head.
If the narrowness of the path had allowed it,
a young farmer
in a rich wedding dress
with the bridegroom on his shoulder
would have liked to pass the old man.
But the old man didn't give him space.
The girl ran like she was being chased,
but in the whirlpool
that covered the forest meadow
her foot stuck.
Collapsed, she stood still.
At the same time the old man
looked surprised at the beautiful world
in which they had landed.
Now I had no idea
that the next minute
would bring me something unexpected,
and therefore the shriek
not less than suddenly
his royal majesty
loudly and clearly
called into the general disorder.
It's like years ago,
but this time we have prepared.
Nervous creatures are the people.
They have to penetrate everywhere
and disturb
the deepest peace.
Well, we want to get to the bottom of it
and not let the freemen
disturb us like they did then.
Here at my request,
because I thought of earlier experiences,
a human child among us.
Well, fairytale aunt,
step forward.
You should talk to them
because I only understand
their language painstakingly.
But you wear the mask
as you distinguish
our speech.
So you can repeat
our words to the drops there,
because I already notice
that there is something to simplify.
Know that if we fail
to end the quarrel for satisfaction,
the whole beautiful wedding
will be destroyed for us.
The blessing of the lance
can only be donated in peace,
otherwise it will lose its power.
I realized that I was right.
So I gathered my courage,
ran towards the fleeing girl
and held her in my arm,
just as she had come hard to the throne.
Stop,
I called, not further.
Can you see and understand me?
The girl seemed half senseless
in fear, grief and horror.
She clung to me and called out
half-loud, my dream,
my dream, I'm in the middle of a spook.
God have mercy,
it's the bewitched meadow.
Nonsense, I said sternly.
Don't talk, answer.
Can you see that I,
a man like you, am talking to you?
The old farmer stepped up
and the boy stood next to the girl,
shyly but lovingly
put his arm around her and said,
Come, come in,
be quiet, I am with you.
And the one you are clinging to
is not a spook, but a man.
Tell him,
the lance king ordered me.
Tell them, fairy-tale-aunt,
that they should report
what they are doing.
Briefly and truthfully,
so that nothing should happen to them.
But in the first lie,
or when one of them tries to flee,
it is all dead.
Serious and choosing my words well,
I gave the order to three.
The old man said,
Lord King,
I know you well,
because for centuries
we have been celebrating this festival
in our village.
And when my grandmother
was her great-great-grandmother's age,
something similar happened
in the village.
So we want
to obey your command.
George and Marijn,
let it be said to you,
the lance king
is not a joke.
At that time,
the fairy-tale-aunt killed
George and Marijn,
because they did not listen to his words.
It must be time again
that this spook
reigns in this year.
It only helps to be careful.
With permission, Lord King,
I, the lance farmer,
as you may well know,
the richest in the village,
am going to marry
my only daughter today.
It's all right.
The marriage good
has already been arranged.
He is the only son of the neighbor.
Our fields collide with each other,
and Marijn and her children
would be the richest
not only in the village,
but also in the whole principality.
The girl was also
well-to-do in our plans,
and the boy loved her
from an early age.
But for three days,
the fool has been whining and swearing
that she could not marry George.
We thought it was
childish behavior.
The girls of today are more
naïve than the fools of the king
at my time.
But as soon as she went to church,
the girl disappeared.
We sent the wedding guests
to make sure that no one
would notice the gossip,
and then I hurried here
as quickly as possible,
because I suspected that
she wanted to get in the way
of our plans.
But wait, wait!
I want to make you sensible.
Do you think your father
will let you jump around like that?
He approached the girl
threateningly with the stick,
but the boy stood in his way
and shouted,
Listen, farmer, it's never good like this.
I love the Marijn,
and that's why no one should force
and offend her.
But Marijn, with our love,
I beg you,
give up this disturbed being
and say what happened to you
that you are doing me the shame
to run away on our wedding day.
The Marijn
looked shyly around
and to my amazement I noticed
that she was wearing fine glasses
in front of the blue eyes,
so clear and so transparent
that no one seemed to notice her.
But the king saw her well,
because he bent down
in front of his wife
and drew her attention.
And she smiled at him
and said to him,
It is as I thought, my wife.
From the words of the two men
that the fairy tale aunt
has translated to us,
I already take the key
and the glasses that the girl
has in front of the eyes
invisible to all people
proves to me
that my guess is right.
But I am afraid
to disturb her
and to make any couple
unhappy today.
How wise of my husband
to let the fairy tale aunt
into the conversation.
Now we will reach
a good end,
and I beg you,
let me take the matter
into my own hands.
The king seemed ready,
because he smiled kindly to her
So it is all true,
what my aunt told me
about the magic of the forest
on this day.
Oh, so I was,
how I see you,
so I was,
how I heard
the singing of the birds
in the wonderful choir
from afar,
and here the figures
I look at,
which I would otherwise
discover what torments me
and makes me flee.
The father himself called me
the old mummy,
who has a hut deep in the forest,
to the priestess,
and she took me to the baptism.
So it was only cheap
that I went to invite her
to the wedding.
I did not meet her alone,
a little old man was with her.
I brought my invitation
and wanted to go home
and so and so,
and he made a white face
and asked me if it would be pleasant
to look deep into the heart
of my bridegroom,
all the good and bad things
that are hidden in it.
But the priestess shouted,
Oh, you lucky fool,
there you come to the right,
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Now you can go in the future
if you find out
how it is about the choir.
He led me with his hand
slightly over my eyes and said,
I should go home in peace,
I would now see George
from the inside, like a child,
his picture book,
and no field should be hidden from me.
I met him hours later.
But what I found in his heart
of bad thoughts
is so horrible
that I do not dare
to pronounce it.
He is a miserable guy.
I would marry him,
and in front of the altar
I would repeat my no.
There you hear the Nereche!
shouted the old man angrily.
But George smiled
and said shyly,
But Marijn,
even if I am as bad
as you suddenly got
from a stranger,
if you loved me,
you should rather live
with me together
No, never!
replied Marijn,
and over her eyes appeared
a small wrinkle,
as you would find
in a strange child.
Why should I knowingly
run into my misfortune?
Most gracious Lady of Wonders,
protect me from him!
Very well,
exclaimed the Queen of Morgenröte.
I can grant you
what you want,
I assure you!
cried Marijn.
The Queen got up,
took the golden staff
from one of the elven boys' hands,
touched George with the same
and shouted in a singing tone,
Why should your heart be so bad?
He will die here
and become stone!
That was how the misfortune happened.
The good farmer Borsche
was astonished before all eyes.
His tendrils were pale,
he was standing there
as a fine, faithful image
or a stonemason
made of gray, hard granite.
The old farmer's hair
stood up to the mountains,
he let his stick fall to the ground,
turned away and fled,
so quickly his tendrils could carry him.
Marijn, too, saw
the terrible transformation.
The Queen waved to her,
and when she came closer,
she flew over the eyes
of the King,
who sat on his lap
and stroked them.
As soon as this had happened,
Marijn burst into bitter tears
and called in despair.
What have I done?
Oh, you evil witch of kings!
You sorceress! You witch!
Give me back my George!
Oh, he was the best under the sun!
Oh, I can no longer live without him!
But the King did not give up his anger
and said,
But now I am fed up!
Do not disturb our celebration any longer,
do you hear?
Embrace my stone,
which you yourself wished in this state.
Now you are free,
and let us celebrate our celebration to the end.
He waved.
The Queen bowed to him
and rubbed something into his ear,
to which he smiled.
And that made me hope for the poor people's children,
although the matter did not look happy.
The George stood unmoved,
a picture of stones,
and Marijn had knelt down
before him and embraced him
weeping and sobbing.
On a hand movement of the King of Lens
the birds fell down
into their celebratory choir,
and the great wedding procession
continued its course at the throne.
Finally the last couples were gone.
The birds were silent.
Only a nightingale,
that wonderful great singer,
let her death-bringing songs appear,
which made my heart beat.
The royal couple got up.
The mussel was already standing,
but the two were still hesitating.
Marijn cried and
moaned.
Now she pushed herself on her knees
to the Queen and wailed,
raising her hands.
Oh, you have mercy!
I have earned it, but I see my sins.
What have I to listen to strangers on the wheel?
I would rather have the George
with all the sins with me,
which I suddenly saw in his heart
and which I had never noticed before,
than to live like this now.
Now, however, fulfill my plea.
Use your power again
and enchant me too into a stone.
Oh, my poor heart
has already risen in tremendous pain,
so at least let me be united with him
in death.
Well, that may perhaps happen,
the Queen replied.
But first you owe the George,
whom you buried your heart with,
so much that he became a stone,
to check his heart
even now.
Look here.
Here is a miracle lamp
that stands against the stone.
It will illuminate
the George's heart brilliantly.
Now tell me,
what do you see in it?
Zaggraf looked into the stone
and held the miracle lamp
behind the granite block with his right hand.
Then she heard a cry
coming out of the jubilant sound
and at the same time a heartbreaking cry.
Is he in his heart?
she announced.
Oh, mighty Queen,
nothing is in it
but flowers of the pure,
noble gold.
And there,
there in the deepest,
most secret chamber of the heart,
oh, my heaven,
there is surrounded by gold
my own image preserved.
She let the lamp fall,
embraced the poor stone George
with both arms,
and slithered with renewed force.
The Queen stepped up to her,
put her hand on the girl's shoulder
and said quietly,
Marijn,
as you give ten years of your life
and want to pay
for too much suffering,
I can help you.
Ten years! Marijn shouted and jumped up.
Oh, good-natured woman,
I will only awaken the innocent
and stand here,
a stone statue of all to eternal warning.
So I will not grieve,
but with joy suffer death for him.
Now, Marijn,
if you think so,
then let a tear fall on the spot
where you saw the deepest chamber of the heart
in the golden heart
of your treasure.
Marijn embraced the beloved,
kissed with her red lips
the stone mouth of her George
and her eyes streamed
hot drops that
tore the stone.
Suddenly we saw a small gap
open in the stone
and then it cracked loudly
and sensibly three times
and then the stone shell fell apart
like the form of a bell-mower
and Marijn
held the living, great George in her arms.
Her hot tears of joy
had even melted the stone.
Laughing and crying
the happy ones held each other
surrounded,
then Queen Morgenröte
stepped up to her and put something
in Marijn's hand and said
smilingly,
Listen, Marijn,
this time, because it was the joyous
wedding day,
I have helped you
and for a while you will now be well cured
of childish moods and self-conceit.
But I fear
so many difficult hours are still ahead of you.
I want to take care of that.
The little devil has
played a joke on you,
as he is allowed to do on the first of May
when he is on his journey home from Bloxberg.
He put a black pair of glasses
on your nose,
and so you have discovered
your George in the good heart of all the bad ones.
But who is in favor of
him not looking for you home so many times,
the smart guy?
Once he has cheated,
he likes to try it more often.
If you now mean again
deep in the heart of George
to see only bad things
and life seems unbearable to you,
then try it
with my glasses.
Imagine that we are holding a test.
Marijn took the package
and as she looked at it,
it was a cute pair of glasses
made of soft pink glass,
in cute gold.
George grabbed her and
put her smilingly on his girl's nose.
Then Marijn called
and shook her hands together
in surprise.
Good heavens!
Everything is covered in a bright, mild light,
and everything is full of gloss,
and my heart is full of sweet happiness,
and my George is good and faithful
and brave like the sun.
You have done well!
The king called cheerfully
and offered his girlfriend
his hand to help her
get into the shell.
Look at me, people,
and use the pink glasses diligently!
Already the shell
rose under the sounds
of all the united chapels and singers.
Then the ruler waved to me,
bent down from the shell
and put something on my chest.
It was a glorious,
sparkling order.
Like dewdrops shimmering diamonds
and in the middle a soft pink amethyst
and a wonderful scent
went out of the stars.
The king said,
You have done well,
fair maiden, for your faithful service today.
Before I could
express my surprise
and express my gratitude
to the ruler,
the shell was already floating
upwards and higher
until it drifted along the sky
like a rosy, red lily bud.
I followed it with my eyes.
When I turned to the earth again,
I looked inside
and saw the king
hurrying down the path
that led to the village.
They only had eyes for each other
and I was looking forward
to their radiant faces.
But the animals and flowers
and plants rushed towards
their home in great haste.
The great spring wedding
was over.
I let myself be carried away
by all the experiences.
There was the customs office
but this time,
when he saw my sparkling ears,
he even respectfully called out
to me,
Aye, there you have
the highest order,
the sparkling dewdrop amethyst,
the Lenzmorgenröter,
I have to whistle at you!
The squirrels rustled
in the dry leaves.
The wonder butterflies
floated up,
grabbed my cap
and swam away with him,
while the customs guard
reached my basket again.
There stood the pine trees,
huge, to the gate,
the slanted arms curved
and I walked through.
The sun shone brightly,
the cuckoo called,
the finch sang.
My children jumped over
and called,
Have you found the fine moss
in the aquarium?
Aye, there you have
the highest order,
the high dewdrop amethyst,
the Lenzmorgenröter,
Aye, there you have
the high dewdrop amethyst,
the Lenzmorgenröter,
Aye, there you have
the high dewdrop amethyst,
the Lenzmorgenröter,
Aye, there you have
the high dewdrop amethyst,
the Lenzmorgenröter,
Aye, there you have
the high dewdrop amethyst,
the Lenzmorgenröter,
Aye, there you have
the high dewdrop amethyst,
the Lenzmorgenröter,
Aye, there you have
the high dewdrop amethyst,
the Lenzmorgenröter,
Aye, there you have
the high dewdrop amethyst,
the Lenzmorgenröter,
Aye, there you have
the high dewdrop amethyst,
the Lenzmorgenröter,
Should I meet her again,
I would like to buy
a pair of pink glasses,
because I can use them
better than the beautiful ears
that I keep as a dry Maybell
to remember.
