Where shall I find Death, who took away my little child? said she.
He has not come here yet! said the old grave woman, who was appointed to look after Deaths great greenhouse! How have you been able to find the way hither? And who has helped you?
OUR LORD has helped me, said she. He is merciful, and you will also be so!
Where shall I find my little child?
Nay, I know not, said the woman, and you cannot see! Many flowers and trees have withered this night; Death will soon come and plant them over again!
You certainly know that every person has his or her lifes tree or flower,just as everyone happens to be settled; they look like other plants, but they have pulsations of the heart. Childrens hearts can also beat; go after yours,perhaps you may know your childs; but what will you give me if I tell you what you shall do more?
I have nothing to give, said the afflicted mother, but I will go to the worlds end for you!
Nay, I have nothing to do there! said the woman. But you can give me your long black hair; you know yourself that it is fine, and that I like! You shall have my white hair instead, and thats always something!
Do you demand nothing else? said she. That I will gladly give you! And she gave her her fine black hair, and got the old womans snow-white hair instead.
