“Was ist das nützlichste Metall,
Das herrlichste allüberall?
Das Eisen.
Kein zweites in der Erde Reich
Kommt je an Werth und Nutzen gleich
Dem Eisen.”
(Johann Nepomuk Vogl in Das Lied vom Eisen)

Under a cherry tree
“O Cherry Tree! O Cherry Tree!
That Spring-time was so fair:
Thy boughs were a white heaven to me,
For He was there.
O Cherry Tree, glad Cherry Tree!
He said my red lips were
Richer than thy ripe fruit: ah me!
He kiss’d me there.
O Cherry Tree, sad Cherry Tree!
Now are thy branches bare:
The leafless boughs repeat to me —
He is not there.”
(W.J. Linton in Under a cherry tree)
