To welcome mirth and harmless glee, We rambling minstrels, blithe and free, With song the laughing hours beguile, And wear a never-fading smile: Where’er we roam, We find a home, And greeting, to reward our toil. No anxious griefs disturb our rest, Nor busy cares annoy our breast; Fearless we sink in soft repose, While night her sable mantle throws. With grateful lay, Hail, rising day, That rosy health and peace bestows! ''The Stranger'', Act IV August Friedrich Ferdinand von Kotzebue (1761–1819) Trans. Benjamin Thompson (1775/6–1816)
