Product Description

Flute trio based on a chapter from Wilhelm Busch's comic materpiece "Balduin Bählamm der verhinderte Dichter" (Baldwin Baalamb the thwarted poet)

This is my translation:

In open air and countryside
Where pretty flowers bloom in their pride
In fields and woods, our delectation
So far away from civ'lization
Where botany holds all its sway
We'd love to stay there ev'ry day
And Baalamb lies there nice and happy
A truly deep contented chappy
With leg raised up looks to the sky
A great big world oh me oh my!
But on the other hand we see
An earwig comes for company
His only thoughts as on he goes
Are for his comfort far from foes
And where it is so dark and small
He'll settle with no care at all!
Just as he wished and it's just right
The poet's ear comes into sight!
He thinks "In this warm fleshy fold
I'll dream secure far from the cold."
But if he thinks that he can settle
In such a world, as in a petal
He's very wrong - 'cos Baalamb's heel
Reduces him to mash and meal
From that fine form which once he had
The bug has reached an end so sad
Existence that he once enjoyed
The poet has at once destroyed.
And straight away our Baalamb goes
Away from his disturbed repose
And to a nice locality
He's beckoned by a little tree
A birdy twitters up so high
Inspires the poet bye and bye
His forehead feels the gentle breeze
It sets him sketching all the trees.
A splash, a flash, he thinks "oh Dash!"
The bird relieved flies on quite rash.
Poor Baalamb's song is now no more
He leaves no better than before.
