Today's Forecast: The severe Autumnal weather outside made me think of Flying Robert!! Inspired by the cautionary children's poem by Heinrich Hoffman from his collection Shockheaded Peter, and song by The Tiger Lillies!! shannonhedges.com
Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of pure imagination~
Marquee Moon - Flying Robert
This song is so amazing!
Aglaia Mortcheva's video version of 'Flying Robert' by Dr Heinrich Hoffman, from Der Struwwelpeter. People just don't do cautionary tales like they used to anymore...
When the rain comes tumbling down in the country or the town, all good little girls and boys stay at home and mind their toys. Robert thought, "No, when it pours, It is better out of doors." Rain it did, and in a minute Rob was in it. Here you see him, silly fellow, underneath his red umbrella.
What a wind! Oh! how it whistles, through the trees and flowers and thistles. Oh! It has caught his red umbrella! Now look at him, silly fellow, Up he flies to the skies! No one heard his screams and cries; Through the clouds the rude wind bore him, and his hat flew on before him.
Soon they got to such a height, they were nearly out of sight! And the hat went up so high, That it almost touch´d the sky. No one ever yet could tell Where they stopp´d, or where they fell; Only this one thing is plain, Rob was never seen again!
