By the Rhine, by the Rhine, dwell not by the Rhine, My son, I counsel thee fair ;Too beauteous will be that life of thine, Too lofty thy courage there. Seest the maidens so frank and the men all so free, A noble assembly so thy soul all aglow, theres the dwelling for thee. There seem all things fitting and right. COLOGNE Cathedral, Si. Martins Church and Tower ofTown Hall. Pontoon-bridge in RHINELAND 119 From the stream, how they greet thee, the towers in theirmight. And the ancient cathedral town,When thou chmbest aloft to the dizzying height To gaze on the waters down. In the river upriseth the nymph from the vale.
