Mother Huldas Apple Garden
In Mother Hulda's apple grove so fair
The apple trees stood meagre and bare Nobody could help, it was a plight The gardens in heaven in need of delight! An old woman lived down below Her garden flourished, a vibrant show All who saw, were filled with awe Blooms, shrubs and cabbage in grand draw So Hulda called upon her dearest one Junker Death, his course right away begun He knocked upon the old one's door To take her away, forevermore But she had a request, oh so sly To play a game, the stakes were high Cards were dealt, the game began She played with skill, she had a plan "I have but one request, I plea So grant it kindly, hear my decree: Let's play cards, the loser's fate Shall decide, as agreed, our final state." She proved her skill beyond compare Against the servants, she'd often dare No chance, Junker Death, nothing earned So to Mother Hulda he returned To his woman he appeared with shame She scolded him, a fiery flame He solemnly promised this lady to bring To save the celestial garden and spring In sacred nights, his offer laid "Tend to heaven's gardens," he bade "If you don't like, I'll bring you back, To continue your life on the mortal track Or stay if you wish, revel and be free In the realms beyond, eternally She said: "Oh yes, I'll give it a try" "So quickly say to your home good-bye!" He brought her up to heaven's gate She looked inside, made the leap of fate As a youthful maiden, she frolicked with glee In the enchanted garden, peaceful and free |
