spouse of the Breath divine,
Hail to Thee, shrouded shrine,
Whence
our Redeemer came
!
Hail to Thy holy name
!
Av6 Maria !
Tannhauser.
Those
words that saved
me !
Shepherd-boy.
Pray, your blessing, sirs !
I worship Mary in my simple way.
And see Her name in all the starry host,
And Jesus crucified on every tree
For me !
God speed you to the House of God
!
The Eldest
Pilgrim.
The Blessing of the Virgin on your head
!
The Youngest
Pilgrim.
What make you, sir, so downcast ?
Come with us
Who taste all happiness in
uneasiness.
Hunger and thirst, in His sweet
Name —
Tannhauser.
Ah no!
I have been shown another way than yours !
I am too old in this world's
weariness,
80
