| Himbeeren |

|
| Himbeerstrauch am Wegesrand – |
| wer bliebe da nicht stehn? |
| Lippensüße wilde Frucht |
| will mir im Mund zergehn. |
|
| Kenn dich schon aus Kinderzeit, |
| dein unscheinbares Blüh'n, |
| kaum versteckt die rote Pracht |
| im zarten Dornengrün. |
|
| Aber gut verborgen sind |
| zwei Trauben kostbar schön: |
| zungenspitzenreif und prall, |
| so lieblich anzusehn! |

|
| Raspberries grow by the way – |
| who wouldn't make a stop? |
| Oh, your sweet, wild, juicy fruit |
| wants to melt between my lips. |
|
| I know you from childhood days, |
| your inconspicuous bloom, |
| barely hidden glory red |
| in tender thorny green. |
|
| But two berries well concealed, |
| a pleasant precious treat: |
| tonguetip mellow, ripe and full, |
| so lovely to behold! |
