Die Schühlein
Language: German (Deutsch)
O, was stehen so viele Schuh' draußen da vor der Türe; die betracht' ich mir immerzu wenn ich vorbeispaziere. Sieben Paar - ich vergess' doch kein's? - zähl' ich, während ich wand're; sieben Paar, und immer eins kleiner noch als das and're! Mit Bewund'rung schau' ich hin: Vierzehn Schühlein im Ganzen! Vierzehn Füßlein, wenn die darin, o, was können die tanzen!

O how many a shoe in row
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
O how many a shoe in row 's standing up on the floor here; I admire them whene'er I go wandering by the door here. Seven pair - I've forgotten none! Counting them's quite a bother! Seven pair, and always one smaller still than the other! O the lovely, tiny shoe! Fourteen booties for prancting! Fourteen feeet therein can do lots of wonderful dancing!
