Worthy art thou, returning home, the bell <br />For thee should ring, and crowds come gathering round <br />To gaze, how as a gladdening miracle <br />Thou com'st, of sin or shame all blameless found. <br />Man's praise and woman's love shall thus abound; <br />And this thy glorious welcome shall dispel <br />The slanderous words which some have breathed around, <br />That honour bade thee still at distance dwell.<br /><br />Walther von der Vogelweide<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/worthy-art-thou-returning-home/
