The Forest Sanctuary

by

Listen in the reader

Ihr Plätze aller meiner stillen freuden, Euch lass' ich hinter mir auf immerdar!

So ist des gerstes ruf an mich ergangen, Mich treibt nicht eitles, irdisches verlangen. Die Jungfrau von Orleans.

Long time against oppression have I fought, And for the native liberty of faith Have bled and suffer'd bonds. Remorse, a Tragedy. Yet those deep southern shades oppress'd My soul with stillness.
