Rosa Warrens
Rosa Warrens (born February 24, 1821 in Karlskrona , † November 8, 1878 in Copenhagen ) was a Swedish-German poet and translator of folk songs.
Rosa Warrens came to Hamburg with her parents at the age of five , where she only received private lessons. In 1861 she moved to Berlin with her mother. After her mother died during a spa stay in Freienwalde in 1878, she moved to her sister in Copenhagen, but died of a heart attack just eight days after her arrival.
Rosa Warrens did a great job translating Nordic folk songs into German. A melancholy mood prevails in her own collection of poems.
