Friedrich Schiller - The Maid of Orleans (Act 3 Scene 8) lyrics

The same. LA HIRE. DUNOIS La Hire, where is the maiden? LA HIRE That I ask Of you; I left her fighting by your side. DUNOIS I thought she was protected by your arm, When I departed to a**ist the king. BURGUNDY Not long ago I saw her banner wave Amidst the thickest of the hostile ranks. DUNOIS Alas! where is she? Evil I forebode? Come, let us haste to rescue her. I fear Her daring soul hath led her on too far; Alone she combats in the midst of foes, And without succor yieldeth to the crowd. CHARLES Haste to her rescue! LA HIRE Come! BURGUNDY We follow all! [Exit.] [They retire in haste. A deserted part of the battle-field. In the distance are seen the towers of Rheims illumined by the sun.]
