To this city joy reveal it	A
	-
Peace as its first signal peal it	A
	-
Song of the Bell concluding lines	B
	-
And so it proved The nation felt ere long	C
	-
That peaceful signal and with blessings fraught	D
A new born joy appear'd in gladsome song	C
	-
To hail the youthful princely pair we sought	D
While in a living ever swelling throng	C
	-
Mingled the crowds from ev'ry region brought	D
And on the stage in festal pomp array'd	E
The HOMAGE OF THE ARTS we saw displayed	E
	-
The title of a lyric piece composed by Schiller in honour of	F
the marriage of the hereditary Prince of Weimar to the Princess	G
Maria of Russia and performed in	H
	-
When lo a fearful midnight sound I hear	I
	-
That with a dull and mournful echo rings	J
And can it be that of our friend so dear	K
	-
It tells to whom each wish so fondly clings	J
Shall death overcome a life that all revere	K
	-
How such a loss to all confusion brings	J
How such a parting we must ever rue	L
The world is weeping shall not we weep too	L
	-
He was our own How social yet how great	M
	-
Seem'd in the light of day his noble mind	N
How was his nature pleasing yet sedate	M
	-
Now for glad converse joyously incline	O
Then swiftly changing spirit fraught elate	M
	-
Life's plan with deep felt meaning it design'd	N
Fruitful alike in counsel and in deed	P
This have we proved this tasted in our need	P
	-
He was our own O may that thought so blest	Q
	-
Overcome the voice of wailing and of woe	R
He might have sought the Lasting safe at rest	Q
	-
In harbour when the tempest ceased to blow	R
Meanwhile his mighty spirit onward press'd	Q
	-
Where goodness beauty truth for ever grow	R
And in his rear in shadowy outline lay	S
The vulgar which we all alas obey	S
	-
Now doth he deck the garden turret fair	T
	-
Where the stars' language first illuded his soul	U
As secretly yet clearly through the air	T
	-
On the eterne the living sense it stole	U
And to his own and our great profit there	T
	-
Exchangeth he the seasons as they roll	U
Thus nobly doth he vanquish with renown	V
The twilight and the night that weigh us down	V
	-
Brighter now glow'd his cheek and still more bright	W
	-
With that unchanging ever youthful glow	R
That courage which overcomes in hard fought fight	W
	-
Sooner or later ev'ry earthly foe	R
That faith which soaring to the realms of light	W
	-
Now boldly Presseth on now bendeth low	R
So that the good may work wax thrive amain	V
So that the day the noble may attain	V
	-
Yet though so skill'd of such transcendent worth	X
	-
This boarded scaffold doth he not despise	Y
The fate that on its axis turns the earth	X
	-
From day to night here shows he to our eyes	Y
Raising through many a work of glorious birth	X
	-
Art and the artist's fame up tow'rd the skies	Y
He fills with blossoms of the noblest strife	Z
With life itself this effigy of life	Z
	-
His giant step as ye full surely knew	V
	-
Measured the circle of the will and deed	P
Each country's changing thoughts and morals too	V
	-
The darksome book with clearness could he read	A2
Yet how he breathless 'midst his friends so true	V
	-
Despaired in sorrow scarce from pain was freed	P
All this have we in sadly happy years	B2
For he was ours bewailed with feeling tears	C2
	-
When from the agonizing weight of grief	D2
	-
He raised his eyes upon the world again	V
We show'd him how his thoughts might find relief	D2
	-
From the uncertain present's heavy chain	V
Gave his fresh kindled mind a respite brief	D2
	-
With kindly skill beguiling ev'ry pain	V
And e'en at eve when setting was his sun	V
From his wan cheeks a gentle smile we won	V
	-
Full early had he read the stern decree	E2
	-
Sorrow and death to him alas were known	V
Ofttimes recovering now departed he	E2
	-
Dread tidings that our hearts had fear'd to own	V
Yet his transfigured being now can see	E2
	-
Itself e'en here on earth transfigured grown	V
What his own age reproved and deem'd a crime	F2
Hath been ennobled now by death and time	F2
	-
And many a soul that with him strove in fight	W
	-
And his great merit grudged to recognise	E2
Now feels the impress of his wondrous might	W
	-
And in his magic fetters gladly lies	E2
E'en to the highest bath he winged his flight	W
	-
In close communion link'd with all we prize	E2
Extol him then What mortals while they live	G2
But half receive posterity shall give	H2
	-
Thus is he left us who so long ago	R
	-
Ten years alas already turn'd from earth	X
We all to our great joy his precepts know	R
	-
Oh may the world confess their priceless worth	X
In swelling tide tow'rd every region flow	R
	-
The thoughts that were his own peculiar birth	X
He gleams like some departing meteor bright	W
Combining with his own eternal light	W
