On Walpurgis Night



Who fears to-day
His rites to pay,
Deserves his chains to wear.

The forest's free!
This wood take we,
And straight a pile prepare!
Yet in the wood

To stay 'tis good
By day, till all is still,
With watchers all around us plac'd
Protecting you from ill.
With courage fresh, then let us haste
Our duties to fulfil.

Johann Wolfgang Von Gothe - Die Erste Walpurgisnacht
