Everywhere the spirit enters : Ope we here the prison door, — Germany, thy sons are fettered For the love of thee they bore ! Here the captive sleeps forgetful ; Does he dream of freedonf now? Does he dream of battles over. Victory's garland on his brow? God of Freedom, Let him dream ! Yet a step, and here the cabin Of the tiller of the soil. To his slumber God has given Dreams which pay for daylight's toil. Digitized by Google TRANSLATIONS. 9/ Every seed which Morpheus scatters Gives a golden ...harvest birth, — Fills the dreamer's little cottage With the treasures of the earth. God, who carest for the poor man, Let him dream ! Here I pause to speak my blessing ! Dearest, who art life to me. You are not my only loved one, — Freedom shares my heart with thee ! While the stainless doves of promise To your cradle blessings bore. Round me in my baby slumbers Pranced mad coursers wild for war. While I dream of Freedom's eagles, Of the bold, unflinching eye, Dearest, in more peaceful slumbers You shall watch the butterfly.
