more freedom than a robe of gold.”

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)

This goose escaped from the roasting pan
“So lasset uns all insgemein
Bei g’bratenen Gänsen fröhlich sein!
Die Gäns mit ihrem Dadern, da da da da da da.
Mit ihrem Gschrei und Schnadern da da da da da da da.
Sankt Martin han verraten, da da da da da da.
Darum tut man sie braten.
Dadada dadada dadada dadada dadada dada.”
(Volkslied Martins-Ganß-Liedt)
