Christian Morgenstern's "Galgenlieder" and his "Palmström" cycle are considered classics of humorous poetry in German literature. Poems like "Der Lattenzaun," "Der Seufzer," and "Das ästhetische Wiesel," as well as "Das Nasob m," remain staples in many families' memorized repertoire. Less known, however, is that these poems have found a translator in Max Knight, who has adeptly rendered them into American English. This bilingual parallel edition offers double enjoyment. Knight not only masterfully tackles challenging pieces like "Fisches Nachtgesang" with striking elegance, but he also translates the untranslatable by transforming the "Lämmergeier" or "Geierlamm" into a "Chicken Hawk" or "Hawken Chick," demonstrating remarkable ingenuity.
