A Wintry morn,--with snow and wind--Vallenrod flies that lake to find, Nor wind nor snow his steps delayed, Till by the lonely shore he stayed. He calls,--impatient, with his sword Strikes on the tower,--he calls, that word "Aldona,--now again we live! Aldona,--thy beloved receive! His vows fulfilled, he comes to thee." THE RECLUSE. Alf?--'tis his voice!--ah! can it be My Alf beloved?--and is it peace? And thou art safe returned, to cease All further wanderings?--Shed o'er it. Then that grassy seat, To twine, and, their light sports among, KONRAD. Oh, Heaven! Ask nothing, but, thine ear be given, Attentive to each word I tell: They all have perished!--marked ye well Those burnings?--Didst thou see?--'Twas there Litva brought back her vengeful war Upon the German land. Long years Have yet to run, ere time repairs The ruin round the Order spread; This hand has that destruction shed, And struck as with a poisoned dart, The hundred-headed monster's heart: Their treasures waste avail no more,--That secret source of all their power; My oath fulfilled,--the powers of hell No fiercer vengeful wish could feel; Nor I, for I am human still, Though doomed with blood, or guile, to fill 2 My youthful years,--now bent with age, I tire of treasons: battle's rage I seek no more. The Germans, too, Are men,--let vengeance slumber now. Heaven seems to light my soul within; I come from Litva, I have seen That spot, where once near Kovno stood Thy castle,--now in ruins laid: I turned away my eyes, I passed In flying speed, with eager haste, To that dear valley, once our own. All as of yore,--the flowers, fresh blown, As when, upon that evening fair, Our last adieus we offered there; Seemed as, tho' since long years were flown, Again that evening round me shone.
