Excerpt from The Minnesingers, Vol. 1 With gratitude I bring you, and esteem For more than learning noble heart and speech, No study-laboured task of "where?" and "when?", No autumn fruits of learning, but a wild Garland of flowers in weedy gardens grown, First culled where fevered Heine, ocean-witched, Healed him, and where the King's deer fleck the green Of Danish beeches scented from the Sound, Thence by those sedgy reaches where the slow Steamers stir not the herons from the pools, And spires beloved of Geibel stain the verge, And where gray-marbled Isar like a storm Crashes along her stones, and bound for you By Baltic waves and Pomeranian pines, Here where the hare I scare shoots into the reeds, And the wildfowl whir up with their cutting cry Of savage desolation, but sea-pinks By lupins grow, and Rügen's gay, gray walls, Like hope upon the future, rim the sea: Here at the northmost bounds of loves old song.
