Mütter

"Born in a ballroom A fiery blaze The night was quiet A mother dazed.

The ram took notice An infant cried A donkey whimpered A pioneer sighed.

She became a legend In her own right. Among the mountains A female knight.

Born in a ballroom To a waltz’s beat She always returns As we glide our feet."
