To go alone to play。
One day�察 �out in the meadow With strangers from the town�察 �Some
secret plan discussing�察�The men walked up and down。 Yet�察�now and then
seemed watching�察�A strange uncertain gleam�察�That looked like lances 'mid
the trees�察�That stood below the stream。
At eve they all assembled�察�Then care and doubt were fled�察�With jovial
laugh they feasted�察�The board was nobly spread。 The elder of the village
Rose up�察 �his glass in hand�察 �And cried�察 �We drink the downfall ;Of an
accursed land� �
;The night is growing darker�察 �Ere one more day is flown�察 �Bregenz�察�
our foemen's stronghold�察 �Bregenz shall be our own� ─�The women shrank
in terror�察 。�Yet Pride�察 �too�察 �had her part�撮� But one poor Tyrol maiden Felt
death within her heart。
Before her�察 �stood fair Bregenz�察 �Once more her towers arose�察 �What
were the friends beside her�拭 �Only her country's foes� �The faces of her
kinsfolk�察 �The days of childhood flown�察 �The echoes of her mountains�察�
Reclaimed her as their own� �
Nothing she heard around her�察。�Though shouts rang forth again�撮� Gone
were the green Swiss valleys�察�The pasture�察�and the plain�察�Before her eyes
one vision�察�And in her heart one cry�察�That said�察 �Go forth�察�save Bregenz�察�
And then�察�if need be�察�die� ─�
With trembling haste and breathless�察 �With noiseless step she sped�察�
Horses and weary cattle Were standing in the shed�察�She loosed the strong
white charger�察�That fed from out her hand�察�She mounted�察�and she turned
his head Towards her native land。
Outout into the darkness ´ Faster�察 �and still more fast�察 �The smooth
grass flies behind her�察�The chestnut wood is past�察�She looks up�察�clouds are
heavy�此�Why is her steed so slow�拭 � Scarcely the wind beside them�察�Can
pass them as they go。

;Faster� ─ �she cries�察 �Oh faster� ─ �Eleven the church´bells chime�此 �Oh
God�察─�she cries�察 �help Bregenz�察�And bring me there in time� ─�But louder
than bells' ringing�察�Or lowing of the kine�察�Grows nearer in the midnight
The rushing of the Rhine。
Shall not the roaring waters Their headlong gallop check�拭�The steed
draws back in terror�察 �She leans upon his neck To watch the flowing
darkness�察 �The bank is high and steep�察 �One pausehe staggers forward�察�
And plunges in the deep。
She strives to pierce the blackness�察�And looser throws the rein�察 �Her
steed must breast the waters That dash above his mane。 How gallantly�察�
how nobly�察 �He struggles through the foam�察�And seein the far distance�察�
Shine out the lights of home� �
Up the steep banks he bears her�察�And now�察�they rush again Towards the
heights of Bregenz�察 �That tower above the plain。 They reach the gate of
Bregenz�察 �Just as the midnight rings�察 �And out come serf and soldier To
meet the news she brings。
Bregenz is saved� �Ere daylight Her battlements are manned�察�
Defiance greets the army That marches on the land。 And if to deeds heroic
Should endless fame be paid�察 �Bregenz does well to honour The noble
Tyrol maid。
Three hundred years are vanished�察�And yet upon the hill An old stone
gateway rises�察�To do her honour still。 And there�察�when Bregenz women Sit
spinning in the shade�察�They see in quaint old carving The Charger and the
Maid。
And when�察�to guard old Bregenz�察�By gateway�察�street�察�and tower�察�The
warder paces all night long�察�And calls each passing hour�察 �Nine�察─ �ten�察─�
;eleven�察─�he cries aloud�察�And then ��Oh crown of Fame�。� When midnight
pauses in the skies�察�He calls the maiden's name� �

VERSE�此 �A FAREWELL
Farewell�察 �oh dream of mine� �I dare not stay�察�The hour is come�察 �and
time Will not delay�此�Pleasant and dear to me Wilt thou remain�察�No future
hour Brings thee again。
She stands�察�the Future dim�察�And draws me on�察�And shows me dearer
joys ´ But thou art gone� �Treasures and Hopes more fair�察�Bears she for me�察�
And yet I linger�察�Oh dream�察�with thee� �
Other and brighter days�察�Perhaps she brings�察�Deeper and holier songs�察�
Perchance she sings�察 �But thou and I�察 �fair time�察 �We too must sever ´ Oh
dream of mine�察�Farewell for ever� �

VERSE�此 �SOWING AND
REAPING
Sow with a generous hand�察 �Pause not for toil or pain�察 �Weary not
through the heat of summer�察�Weary not through the cold spring rain�察�But
wait till the autumn comes For the sheaves of golden grain。
Scatter the seed�察�and fear not�察�A table will be spread�察�What matter if
you are too weary To eat your hard´earned bread�此�Sow�察�while the earth is
broken�察�For the hungry must be fed。
Sow��while the seeds are lying In the warm earth's bosom deep�察�And
your warm tears fall upon it ´ They will stir in their quiet sleep�察�And the
green blades rise the quicker�察�Perchance�察�for the tears you weep。
Then sow��for the hours are fleeting�察�And the seed must fall to´day�察�
And care not what hands shall reap it�察�Or if you shall have passed away
Before the waving corn´fields Shall gladden the sunny day。
Sow�察 �and look onward�察 �upward�察 �Where the starry light appears ´
Where�察�in spite of the coward's doubting�察�Or your own heart's trembling
fears�察�You shall reap in joy the harvest You have sown to´day in tears。

VERSE�此 �THE STORM
The tempest rages wild and high�察�The waves lift up their voice and cry
Fierce answers to the angry sky�察 � Miserere Domine。
Through the black night and driving rain�察�A ship is struggling�察�all in
vain To live upon the stormy main�察 � Miserere Domine。
The thunders roar�察�the lightnings glare�察�Vain is it now to strive or dare�察�
A cry goes up of great despair�察 � Miserere Domine。
The stormy voices of the main�察�The moaning wind�察 �and pelting rain
Beat on the nursery window pane�此� Miserere Domine。
Warm curtained was the little bed�察 �Soft pillowed was the little head�察�
;The storm will wake the child�察─�they said�此� Miserere Domine。
Cowering among his pillows white He prays�察�his blue eyes dim with
fright�察 �Father�察�save those at sea to´night� ─�Miserere Domine。
The morning shone all clear and gay�察�On a ship at anchor in the bay�察�
And on a little child at play�察 � Gloria tibi Domine� �

VERSE�此 �WORDS
Words are lighter than the cloud´foam Of the restless ocean spray�察�
Vainer than the trembling shadow That the next hour steals away。 By the
fall of summer raindrops Is the air as deeply stirred�察�And the rose´leaf that
we tread on Will outlive a word。
Yet�察 �on the dull silence breaking With a lightning flash�察 �a Word�察�
