Come maids and matrons to caress	A
Wiesbaden's gentle hind	B
And smiling deck its glossy neck	C
With forest flowers entwined	B
	-
'Twas after church on Ascension day	D
When organs ceased to sound	E
Wiesbaden's people crowded gay	D
The deer park's pleasant ground	E
	-
Here came a twelve years' married pair	F
And with them wander'd free	G
Seven sons and daughters blooming fair	F
A gladsome sight to see	G
	-
Their Wilhelm little innocent	H
The youngest of the seven	I
Was beautiful as painters' paint	J
The cherubim of heaven	I
	-
By turns he gave his hand so dear	K
To parent sister brother	L
And each that he was safe and near	K
Confided in the other	L
	-
But Wilhelm loved the field flowers bright	M
With love beyond all measure	L
And cull'd them with as keen delight	M
As misers gather treasure	L
	-
Unnoticed he contrived to glide	N
Adown a greenwood alley	G
By lilies lured that grew beside	N
A streamlet in the valley	G
	-
And there where under beech and birch	O
The rivulet meander'd	P
He stray'd till neither shout nor search	O
Could track where he had wander'd	P
	-
Still louder with increasing dread	Q
They call'd his darling name	R
But 'twas like speaking to the dead	Q
An echo only came	R
	-
Hours pass'd till evening's beetle roams	S
And blackbird's songs begin	T
Then all went back to happy homes	S
Save Wilhelm's kith and kin	T
	-
The night came on all others slept	U
Their cares away till morn	V
But sleepless all night watch'd and wept	U
That family forlorn	V
	-
Betimes the town crier had been sent	W
With loud bell up and down	X
And told th' afflicting accident	H
Throughout Wiesbaden's town	X
	-
The news reach'd Nassau's Duke ere earth	Y
Was gladden'd by the lark	Z
He sent a hundred solders forth	A2
To ransack all his park	Z
	-
But though they roused up beast and bird	P
From many a nest and den	B2
No signal of success was heard	P
From all the hundred men	B2
	-
A second morning's light expands	C2
Unfound the infant fair	F
And Wilhelm's household wring their hands	C2
Abandon'd to despair	F
	-
But haply a poor artizan	B2
Search'd ceaselessly till he	G
Found safe asleep the little one	B2
Beneath a birchen tree	G
	-
His hand still grasp'd a bunch of flowers	D2
And true though wondrous near	K
To sentry his reposing hours	D2
There stood a female deer	K
	-
Who dipp'd her horns at all that pass'd	E2
The spot where Wilhelm lay	D
Till force was had to hold her fast	E2
And bear the boy away	D
	-
Hail sacred love of childhood hail	F2
How sweet it is to trace	G2
Thine instinct in Creation's scale	F2
Even 'neath the human race	G2
	-
To this poor wanderer of the wild	H2
Speech reason were unknown	B2
And yet she watch'd a sleeping child	H2
As if it were her own	B2
