FOREST SANCTUARY.

Ihr Plätze aller meiner stillen freuden,.
Euch lass' ich hinter mir auf immerdar!

So ist des geistes ruf an mich ergangen,
Mich treibt nicht eitles, irdisches verlangen.

Die Jungfrau von Orleans.

And for the native liberty of faith
Have bled and suffer'd bonds.

The story is supposed to be related by himself amidst the wilderness which has afforded him an asylum.
