17. Parodie (Parody)
Stricknadeln, blank und blinkend,
In ihrem grauen Haar,
Sitzt die Duenna murmelnd,
Im roten Röckchen da.
Sie wartet in der Laube,
Sie liebt Pierrot mit Schmerzen,
Stricknadeln, blank und blinkend,
In ihrem grauen Haar.
Da plötzlich - horch! - ein Wispern!
Ein Windhauch kichert leise:
Der Mond, der böse Spötter,
Äfft nach mit seinen Strahlen -
Stricknadeln, blink und blank.
Knitting needles, bright and gleaming
In her gray hair,
The duenna sits muttering
There in a small red dress.
She's waits in the arbor;
She loves Pierrot painfully,
Knitting needles, bright and gleaming
In her gray hair.
The suddenly--hark!--a whisper!
A wind breath giggles softly:
The moon, that nasty mocker
Apes her with his rays--
Knitting needles, bright and gleaming.
