Anna Ritter - From the Christ Child
Think, I have seen the Christ Child!
He came out of the forest, his little cap full of snow,
with a red, frozen nose.
His little hands hurt,
for he carried a sack that was very heavy,
dragged and rumbled behind him.
Would you like to know what was in it?
Your noses, you pack of rogues -
Do you think the bag is open?
Tied up to the top!
But there was certainly something nice inside!
It smelled like apples and nuts!
