Fortress with turrets

And walls high in air,

Damsel disdainful,

Haughty and fair—

These be my prey!

Bold is the venture,

Costly the pay!

Hark, how the trumpet

Thither doth call us

Where either pleasure

Or death may befall us!

Hail to the tumult!

Life's in the field!

Damsel and fortress

To us must yield.

Bold is the venture,

Costly the pay!

Gaily the soldier

Marches away.

FAUST and WAGNER
