Excerpt from Children's Ballads From History and Folklore Cockhorse Regiment. Proudly placed among her meadows, With the Pegnitz winding near, Proudest of all German cities - Nuremberg, without her peer. Nuremberg the free and mighty, Nuremberg, whose busy hand "Goeth, " saith her ancient rhymster, "Far and wide through every land." Vainly Waldstein's cannon thundered 'Gainst the city, tower-walled, Vainly hurled he his battalions, Vainly for surrender called. But her people died by thousands In the close beleaguered town, And her women prayed while swiftly Ran the tears their cheeks adown. O the horror! O the anguish! O the bitter, bitter cry Of the orphan and the widow In that land of Germany! After thirty years of struggle. Thirty years of bloody strife, Cities sacked, and starving peoples, Nuremberg came back to life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
