New Year’s Eve.
[These touching stanzas are a translation, or rather adaptation, of Andersen’s story of the “Little Match Girl.” They were originally published in the Boston Transcript.]
LITTLE Gretchen, little Gretchen,
Wanders up and down the street,
The snow is on her yellow hair,
The frost is on her feet.
Wanders up and down the street,
The snow is on her yellow hair,
The frost is on her feet.
