|"Cherries" is spelled Kirschen, and if it is Kirscen, it could be a animator's typo. There is a mention of Kirschen in Faust 2, Act 1, Part 2. In Walter Arndt's translation, it is on line 5165 of "Spacious Hall".

But the apple should be bitten."
 
If it is Kirsten, then the runes could be a name. That would lend credence to the thought that the witch in episode four was merely a familiar, and branched off from a stronger witch.

ICH WILL NICHT ARBEITEN
Ich will nicht arbeiten

"I don't want to work." This line may come from Henrik Ibsen's play John Gabriel Borkman.

"Ich bin jung, ich will nicht arbeiten, ich will leben,"

translated as

"Yes, but I don't want to work now! For I am young! [...] I will not work! I will only live, live, live!"

In the play, these lines are said by Erhart, who is John Gabriel Borkman's son. Borkman himself was a former bank manager arrested for fraud, and through a set of circumstances, his son eventually announces that he wants to live his life for happiness without looking towards the future, caught up in passion for the present. Borkman shortly afterwards stumbles out into the cold and dies in the winter chill.
