And Hans came down, as cattle drop,

Across the broken chairs.

In Anne of Austria's trembling hands

The weary head fell low

"I ship mineselfs to-morrow, straight

For Besser in Saro;

Und there Ultruda comes to me

At Easter, und I go

"South, down the Cattegat—What's here?

There—are—no—lights—to—guide!"
