Jungmädchen

THE MILKMAID
von The Red Crayola with Art & Language

The figure of the young milkmaid
Is full of live plasticity.
The picture of the young milkmaid
Is full of virtuosity.

The rhythm of patient work is there
- It's in her arms, her legs, her hair.
The look is guarded and severe
In her clean young open face.

See what her snow-white smock reveals
Stretched by her blooming young body;
She lifts her heavy milking pails
- But she's cultured - not just anybody.

She's radiant with happiness
And content with her fulfilled life;
She's beautyful and so graceful;
She would make someone a good wife.

And we can sense in her movements
Rhythmic devices: she'll master
Techonlogical improvement
That makes progress happen faster.

The picture of the young milkmaid
Is made only of mosaic,
But it's a monumental work
Healthy, joyful and heroic.
