Bright on the mountain's heathy slope	A
The day's last splendors shine	B
And rich with many a radiant hue	C
Gleam gayly on the Rhine	B
	-
And many a one from Waldhurst's walls	D
Along the river stroll'd	E
As ruffling o'er the pleasant stream	F
The evening gales came cold	E
	-
So as they stray'd a swan they saw	G
Sail stately up and strong	H
And by a silver chain she drew	C
A little boat along	H
	-
Whose streamer to the gentle breeze	I
Long floating fluttered light	J
Beneath whose crimson canopy	K
There lay reclin'd a knight	J
	-
With arching crest and swelling breast	L
On sail'd the stately swan	M
And lightly up the parting tide	N
The little boat came on	M
	-
And onward to the shore they drew	C
And leapt to land the knight	J
And down the stream the swan drawn boat	O
Fell soon beyond the sight	J
	-
Was never a Maid in Waldhurst's walls	D
Might match with Margaret	P
Her cheek was fair her eyes were dark	Q
Her silken locks like jet	R
	-
And many a rich and noble youth	S
Had strove to win the fair	T
But never a rich or noble youth	S
Could rival Rudiger	U
	-
At every tilt and turney he	K
Still bore away the prize	V
For knightly feats superior still	W
And knightly courtesies	I
	-
His gallant feats his looks his love	X
Soon won the willing fair	T
And soon did Margaret become	Y
The wife of Rudiger	U
	-
Like morning dreams of happiness	Z
Fast roll'd the months away	A2
For he was kind and she was kind	B2
And who so blest as they	A2
	-
Yet Rudiger would sometimes sit	P
Absorb'd in silent thought	C2
And his dark downward eye would seem	F
With anxious meaning fraught	C2
	-
But soon he rais'd his looks again	D2
And smil'd his cares eway	A2
And mid the hall of gaiety	C2
Was none like him so gay	A2
	-
And onward roll'd the waining months	E2
The hour appointed came	F2
And Margaret her Rudiger	U
Hail'd with a father's name	F2
	-
But silently did Rudiger	U
The little infant see	K
And darkly on the babe he gaz'd	C2
And very sad was he	K
	-
And when to bless the little babe	G2
The holy Father came	F2
To cleanse the stains of sin away	A2
In Christ's redeeming name	F2
	-
Then did the cheek of Rudiger	U
Assume a death pale hue	C
And on his clammy forehead stood	C2
The cold convulsive dew	C
	-
And faltering in his speech he bade	C2
The Priest the rites delay	A2
Till he could to right health restor'd	C2
Enjoy the festive day	A2
	-
When o'er the many tinted sky	H2
He saw the day decline	B
He called upon his Margaret	C2
To walk beside the Rhine	B
	-
And we will take the little babe	G2
For soft the breeze that blows	I2
And the wild murmurs of the stream	F
Will lull him to repose	I2
	-
So forth together did they go	J2
The evening breeze was mild	C2
And Rudiger upon his arm	K2
Did pillow the sweet child	C2
	-
And many a one from Waldhurst's walls	D
Along the banks did roam	L2
But soon the evening wind came cold	C2
And all betook them home	L2
	-
Yet Rudiger in silent mood	C2
Along the banks would roam	L2
Nor aught could Margaret prevail	M2
To turn his footsteps home	L2
	-
Oh turn thee turn thee Rudiger	U
The rising mists behold	C2
The evening wind is damp and chill	W
The little babe is cold	C2
	-
Now hush thee hush thee Margaret	C2
The mists will do no harm	K2
And from the wind the little babe	G2
Lies sheltered on my arm	K2
	-
Oh turn thee turn thee Rudiger	U
Why onward wilt thou roam	L2
The moon is up the night is cold	C2
And we are far from home	L2
	-
He answered not for now he saw	G
A Swan come sailing strong	H
And by a silver chain she drew	C
A little boat along	H
	-
To shore they came and to the boat	C2
Fast leapt he with the child	C2
And in leapt Margaret breathless now	N2
And pale with fear and wild	C2
	-
With arching crest and swelling breast	C2
On sail'd the stately swan	M
And lightly down the rapid tide	C2
The little boat went on	M
	-
The full orb'd moon that beam'd around	C2
Pale splendor thro' the night	C2
Cast through the crimson canopy	K
A dim discoloured light	C2
	-
And swiftly down the hurrying stream	F
In silence still they sail	M2
And the long streamer fluttering fast	C2
Flapp'd to the heavy gale	M2
	-
And he was mute in sullen thought	C2
And she was mute with fear	O2
Nor sound but of the parting tide	C2
Broke on the listening ear	P2
	-
The little babe began to cry	H2
And waked his mother's care	T
Now give to me the little babe	G2
For God's sake Rudiger	U
	-
Now hush thee hush thee Margaret	C2
Nor my poor heart distress	Q2
I do but pay perforce the price	R2
Of former happiness	Z
	-
And hush thee too my little babe	G2
Thy cries so feeble cease	S2
Lie still lie still a little while	T2
And thou shalt be at peace	S2
	-
So as he spake to land they drew	C
And swift he stept on shore	U2
And him behind did Margaret	C2
Close follow evermore	U2
	-
It was a place all desolate	C2
Nor house nor tree was there	T
And there a rocky mountain rose	I2
Barren and bleak and bare	T
	-
And at its base a cavern yawn'd	C2
No eye its depth might view	C
For in the moon beam shining round	C2
That darkness darker grew	C
	-
Cold Horror crept thro' Margaret's blood	C2
Her heart it paus'd with fear	O2
When Rudiger approach'd the cave	V2
And cried lo I am here	P2
	-
A deep sepulchral sound the cave	V2
Return'd lo I am here	P2
And black from out the cavern gloom	W2
Two giant arms appear	O2
	-
And Rudiger approach'd and held	C2
The little infant nigh	H2
Then Margaret shriek'd and gather'd then	D2
New powers from agony	K
	-
And round the baby fast and firm	X2
Her trembling arms she folds	Y2
And with a strong convulsive grasp	Z2
The little infant holds	Y2
	-
Now help me Jesus loud she cries	V
And loud on God she calls	D
Then from the grasp of Rudiger	U
The little infant falls	D
	-
And now he shriek'd for now his frame	F2
The huge black arms clasp'd round	C2
And dragg'd the wretched Rudiger	U
Adown the dark profound	C2
