The Kaiser feasted in his hall	A
The red wine mantled high	B
Banners were trembling on the wall	A
To the peals of minstrelsy	C
And many a gleam and sparkle came	D
From the armour hung around	E
As it caught the glance of the torch's flame	D
Or the hearth with pine boughs crown'd	E
	-
Why fell there silence on the chord	F
Beneath the harper's hand	G
And suddenly from that rich board	F
Why rose the wassail band	G
	-
The strings were hush'd the knights made way	H
For the queenly mother's tread	I
As up the hall in dark array	H
Two fair hair'd boys she led	I
	-
She led them even to the Kaiser's place	C
And still before him stood	J
Till with strange wonder o'er his face	C
Flush'd the proud warrior blood	K
And 'Speak my mother speak ' he cried	L
'Wherefore this mourning vest	M
And the clinging children by thy side	L
In weeds of sadness drest '	-
	-
'Well may a mourning vest be mine	N
And theirs my son my son	O
Look on the features of thy line	N
In each fair little one	O
	-
Tho' grief awhile within their eyes	C
Hath tamed the dancing glee	P
Yet there thine own quick spirit lies	C
Thy brother's children see	P
	-
'And where is he thy brother where	Q
He in thy home that grew	R
And smiling with his sunny hair	Q
Ever to greet thee flew	R
How would his arms thy neck entwine	N
His fond lips press thy brow	S
My son oh call these orphans thine	N
Thou hast no brother now	S
	-
'What from their gentle eyes doth nought	L
Speak of thy childhood's hours	C
And smite thee with a tender thought	L
Of thy dead father's towers	C
	-
Kind was thy boyish heart and true	R
When rear'd together there	Q
Thro' the old woods like fawns ye flew	R
Where is thy brother where	Q
	-
'Well didst thou love him then and he	P
Still at thy side was seen	T
How is it that such things can be	P
As tho' they ne'er had been	U
Evil was this world's breath which came	D
Between the good and brave	V
Now must the tears of grief and shame	D
Be offer'd to the grave	V
	-
'And let them let them there be pour'd	L
Though all unfelt below	W
Thine own wrung heart to love restor'd	L
Shall soften as they flow	W
	-
Oh death is mighty to make peace	C
Now bid his work be done	O
So many an inward strife shall cease	C
Take take these babes my son '	-
	-
His eye was dimm'd the strong man shook	X
With feelings long suppress'd	L
Up in his arms the boys he took	X
And strain'd them to his breast	L
And a shout from all in the royal hall	A
Burst forth to hail the sight	L
And eyes were wet midst the brave that met	L
At the Kaiser's feast that night	L
