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."
