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 construction worker is working on his fitness
“Keiner plagt sich gerne, doch wir wissen:
Grau ist’s immer, wenn ein Morgen naht
Und trotz Hunger, Kält und Finternissen
Stehn zum Handanlegen wir parat.
Fort mit den Trümmern
Und was Neues hingebaut!
Um uns selber müssen wir uns selber kümmern
Und heraus gegen uns, wer sich traut!”
(B. Brecht in Aufbaulieder no.1)
