e bid me ask thee this."
"My mother--my poor mother!" murmured Hans.
"She shall never want, Hans Joergle. The best house in the Dorf shall not
have a better fireside than hers. But my question, Hans--time presses."
Hans was silent, and lay with closed eyes for several minutes; then,
laying his hand on the old man, he spoke with an utterance clear at
first, but which gradually grew fainter as he proceeded,--
"Let them build no monument to one poor and humble as I am; mine were
not actions glorious enough for trophies in the noon-day; but let the
'Nachtwachter' come here at midnight--at the same hour of my blessed
dream--and let him wish me a good night. They who are sleeping will
dream happier; and the waking will think, as they hear the cry, of Hans
Joergle!"
