Whence doth come that trumpet-blowing?"

Werner's music through the March night,

Plaintive soared up to the castle,

Begging entrance like a pet-dove,

Which, returning to its mistress,

Finds the window closed and fastened,

And begins to peck and hammer.

To the terrace went the Baron

And his daughter; Hiddigeigei

Followed both with step majestic.
