Excerpt from In English Verse: From the German of Richard Wagner To Friends in Bayreuth. "Nun danket Gott, dass ihr berufen ihn zu horen!" Parsifal. You favoured few, from out a world of men, Chosen to meet once more upon the ground Where music then its utmost glory found When Briinnhild built her pyre and, in the ken Of Gods and mortals, gave the Rhine again His ravished gold! I sit like one a-dream And strain the soul of fancy till I seem To reach your hearts, unhelped of speech or pen. My blessing take, within the solemn halls That rose to magic in its fulness near Amphion's own what time the Theban walls He built with stones that lent him living ear. - But linger not! The Grail-King strumpet calls, In strains, alas! I am not bid to hear. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
