In the song "Maria auf dem Berge" by Wilhelm Kienzl, the lyrics describe Mary, the mother of Jesus, on a mountain where the wind is blowing. She is gently cradling her baby with her pale white hands, without the need for a cradle. Mary asks Joseph to help her rock their baby, but Joseph replies that he is unable to even bend his fingers properly. The song portrays a tender moment between Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus, emphasizing the simplicity and beauty of the scene. The repetitive "schu--schu--schu" in the lyrics adds a soothing and lullaby-like quality to the song.
