RUBY GRAHAM
She did not know what to do;
and in the sorrow of her heart she jumped into the well
The poor child was left all alone in the vast forest
what path are you taking?
the path of needles
or the path of pins?
what path are you taking?
the path of needles
or the path of pins?
what path are you taking?
the path of needles
or the path of pins?
and as she had walked the whole day and not eaten one mouthful,
hunger tormented her
Not every wolf runs on four legs
Tame wolves are the most dangerous of all
I will dream up something that will destroy you
She danced and was obligated to go on dancing
Over field and meadow in rain and sunshine
dance you shall
dance in your red shoes till you are pale and cold
till your skin shrivels up and you are a skeleton
When thou art queen, thou wilt have no more
need to go on foot
and in deed the eyes of all were fixed upon her, their wicked desires were looking out of their eyes and speaking out of their mouths, without a sound being heard
Then the match went out, and she could only see the thick, cold wall.
Then the match went out, and she could only see the thick, cold wall.
They said that she was so ugly and wicked that she deserves to be severely punished
ENVY AND PRIDE GREW LIKE WEEDS IN HER HEART
I know your hearts and all the malice that is in them
You will be turned into two statues, but you will keep your senses beneath the stone that envelops you
