Digitized by VjOOQ IC 180 BALLADS FBOM THE GERMAN.
" Holy or not, or right or wrong, Thy altar, and its rites, I spurn ; Not sainted martyrs' sacred song, Not God himself, shall make me turn ! " He spurs his horse, he winds his horn, " Hark forward, forward 1 holla, ho ! " But off, on whirlwind's pinions borne, The stag, the hut, the hermit, go.
And horse and man, and horn and hound, And clamour of the chase, was gone ; For hoofs, and howls, and bugle sound, A deadly silence reign'd alone.
Wild... gazed the affrighted Earl around ; He strove in vain to wake his horn.
In vain to call : for not a sound Could from his anxious lips be borne.
He listens for his trusty hounds ; No distant baying reach'd his ears : His courser, rooted to the ground.
The quickening spur unmindful bears.
Still dark and darker frown the shades.
Dark as the darkness of the grave ; And not a sound the still invades.
Save what a distant torrent gave.
Digitized by VjOOQ IC THE WILD HUNTSMAN. 181 High o'er the sinner's humbled head At length the solemn silence broke ; And, from a cloud of swarthy red, The awful voice of thunder spoke.
