"In the earth, now firmly planted,
Stands the mould of well-burnt clay.
Come! my lads, your strength is wanted,
We must make the bell to-day!
From the heated brow,
Sweat must freely flow,
So the work the master showeth;
Yet the blessing Heaven bestoweth."
Friedrich Schiller (1759 - 1805) was a German physician, playwright, poet, and philosopher, considered one of the greatest German dramatists and poets. His plays include the Wallenstein trilogy, Maria Stuart, and Wilhelm Tell. He also wrote historical and philosophical works, such as the History of the Revolt of the Netherlands and On the Aesthetic Education of Man. The Song of the Bell, Schiller's longest poem, was praised in its time as a monumental work, a celebration of German culture and unity.
