And then gladly spake she to her husband : " Pavo, Pavo ! take with joy the sickle, We may now make glad our hearts with plenty, Now may throw away the bark unsavory, And bake rich, sweet bread of rye-meal only !"

In danger's hour, in battle's scathe, What courage showed this little band; What patriot love, what matchless faith Didst thou inspire, poor native land; What generous, steadfast love was born In those thou fed'st on bark and corn! Into new realms my fancy broke Where all a magic influence bore. And in my heart a life awoke Whose rapture was unknown before. As if on wings the day careered, But...
