Page 4 - They shall not, shall not have it, Our free-born German Rhine, Though , hoarse as famished ravens , They round it croak and whine...
Page 4 - Our free-born German Rhine, So long as hearts are gladden'd by Its- Spirit-stirring wine; So long, beneath its eddies, As rocks shall firmly stand; So long as lofty battlements Shine mirror'd 'neath its strand. They shall not, shall not have it, Our free-born German Rhine; Till amorous youths and maidens Forsake the marriage shrine. So long its depths can shelter A fish amidst their sands; So long as songs shall echo From minstrels
Page 5 - Its spirit-stirring wine ; So long beneath its eddies, As rocks shall firmly stand : So long as lofty battlements Shine mirror'd 'neath its strand. They shall not — shall not have it, Our free-born German Rhine ; Till amorous youths and maidens Forsake the marriage shrine. So long its depths can shelter A fish amidst their sands ; So long as songs shall echo From minstrel's lips and hands.
