Here you will find the Poem A Prophecy. February 1807 of poet William Wordsworth
HIGH deeds, O Germans, are to come from you! Thus in your books the record shall be found, 'A watchword was pronounced, a potent sound-- ARMINIUS!--all the people quaked like dew Stirred by the breeze; they rose, a Nation, true, True to herself--the mighty Germany, She of the Danube and the Northern Sea, She rose, and off at once the yoke she threw. All power was given her in the dreadful trance; Those new-born Kings she withered like a flame.' --Woe to them all! but heaviest woe and shame To that Bavarian who could first advance His banner in accursed league with France, First open traitor to the German name!
