Alte Steffl leaped Gothic skyward A line to heaven! Sharp was the breath, and all my pain Forgotten in that sight. Hosanna! screamed the stone, and so My soul rejoiced. 'The Devil's tower' they hissed 'von Prachatitz gave his soul to see it done' I well believe - what human hand Could trace such masonry so That upwards leads the eye in progress So harmonic? Say Did ever nature's rock so gladly soar As this, the very firmament to score!
