Röschen biß den Apfel an

 Röschen biß den Apfel an,
 Und zu ihrem Schrecken
 Brach und blieb ein Perlenzahn
 In [dem Butzen]1 stecken.

 Und das gute Kind vergaß
 Seine Morgenlieder;
 Tränen ohne Unterlaß
 Perlten nun hernieder.

by Gottfried Keller (1819-1890) , "Röschen biß den Apfel an", from Neuere Gedichte, in Vermischte Gedichte, in Alte Weisen, no. 7
