Part 54 (2/2)

Ihr Thaler und ihr Hohen Die l.u.s.t und Sommer schmuckt!

Euch ungestort zu sehen, Ist, was mein Herz erquickt.

Die Reizung freier Felder Beschamt der Garten Pracht, Und in die offnen Walder Wird ohne Zw.a.n.g gelacht....

In jahrlich neuen Schatzen zeigt sich des Landmanns Gluck, Und Freiheit und Ergotzen Erheitern seinen Blick....

Ihm prangt die fette Weide Und die betante Flur; Ihm grunet l.u.s.t und Freude Ihm malet die Natur.']

[Footnote 7: He said of his garden at Freiburg, which was laid out in terraces on a slope, that all that Flora and Pomona could offer was gathered there. It had a special Poet's Corner on a hillock under a poplar, where a moss-covered seat was laid for him upon some limestone rock-work; white and yellow jasmine grew round, and laurels and myrtles hung down over his head. Here he would rest when he walked in the sun; on his left was a mossy Ara, a little artificial stone altar on which he laid his book, and from here he could gaze across the visible bit of the distant Rhine to the Vosges, and give himself up undisturbed to his thoughts.]
