Стр. 42 - They reach the gate of Bregenz, Just as the midnight rings, And out come serf and soldier To meet the news she brings. Bregenz is saved ! ere daylight Her battlements are manned ; Defiance greets the army That marches on the land.
Стр. 42 - And if to deeds heroic should endless fame be paid, Bregenz does well to honor the noble Tyrol maid. Three hundred years are vanished, and yet upon the hill An old stone gateway rises, to do her honor still. And there, when Bregenz women sit spinning in the shade, They see in quaint old carving the charger and the maid. And when, to guard old Bregenz, by gateway, street, and tower, The warder paces all night long, and calls each passing hour : " .Nine," " ten,"
Стр. 221 - Six virgins in the centre bear a coffin and a bier, And to the rich high-altar steps with deadened chant draw near, Where all around for saintly forms are dark escutcheons found, With a cross of simple white displayed upon a raven ground. And, placed that raven pall above, a laurel-garland green, The minstrel's verdant coronet, his meed of song, is seen ; His golden harp, beside it laid, a feeble murmur flings, As the evening wind sweeps sadly through its now forsaken strings. Who rests within his...
Стр. 87 - The Warden looks down at the mid hour of night On the tombs that lie scattered below; The moon fills the place with her silvery light, And the churchyard like day seems to glow. When see! First one grave, then another, opes wide, And women and men stepping forth are descried In garments snow white and trailing. . . . And a rattle and clatter soon rises high As of one beating time to the dance.
Стр. 221 - And thus in death his father-land must celebrate his fame. Unto the fairest flowers of heaven that bloom this earth along, To women's worth did he on earth devote his deathless song ; And though the minstrel hath grown old, and faded be his frame, They yet requite what he in life hath done for love and them.
Стр. 221 - And as the echo from the tower grows fuint and dies away. Unto the minster comes a still and sorrowful array,— The old man and the young, the child, and many a maiden fair ; And every eye is dim with tears, in every heart is care. Six virgins in the centre bear a coffin and a bier. And to the rich high-altar steps with deadened chant...
Стр. 187 - And from his trance the sleeper wake : The solid mountain shall dispart, The granite slab in splinters start (Responsive to those accents weird) And loose the Kaiser's shaggy beard. Through all the startled air shall rise The old Teutonic battle-cries ; The horns of war, that once could stir The wild blood of the Berserkir, Shall fling their blare abroad, and then, The champion of his own Almain, Shall Barbarossa come again.
Стр. 263 - Wem Gott will rechte Gunst erweisen, Den schickt er in die weite Welt, Dem will er seine Wunder weisen In Berg und Wald und Strom und Feld. Die...
Стр. 87 - The warder looks down at the mid hour of night On the tombs that lie scattered below ; The moon fills the place with her silvery light, And the churchyard like day seems to glow. When see ! first one grave, then another opes wide, And women and men stepping forth are descried, In cerements snow-white and trailing. " In haste for the sport soon their ankles they twitch, And whirl round in dances so gay ; The young and the old, and the poor, and the rich, But the cerements...
Стр. 4 - Born where blooms the Alpine rose, Cradled in the Bodensee, Forth the infant river flows, Leaping on in childish glee. Coming to a riper age, He crowns his rocky cup with wine, And makes a gallant pilgrimage To many a ruined tower and shrine.
