Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Knight of Achenthal and Other Rimes A Legend of the Holy Rosary. The early sun-beams thinly fall Upon the woods of Achenthal, Which still lie buried ´neath a pall Of gray September fog; As dark Sir Otto, - dark indeed, In face and heart, unlike his breed, - Toys with the trappings of his steed And whistles to his dog. Sir Otto bears an honored name, But foul as stagnant pool his fame, And many a ruthless deed of shame Has made him loathed and feared His blight is over all the land, His serfs are ruled with iron hand, His soul, as with a blazing brand, With sin is burned and seared. To-day Sir Otto hunts the boar - His choicest sport - but at his door A moment stands and lingers o´er His palfrey, as though 10th To plunge into the stillness ´round, So calm and holy and profound, And now he whistles to his hound And now he breathes an oath.
