"Oh, holy Father, Pope Urban,<br />

I have a tale to tell;<br />

I stir not hence, till thou shrivest me.<br />

And savest me from hell."<br />

The people stand in a circle near.<br />

And the priestly anthems cease;<br />

Who is the pilgrim wan and wild.<br />

Who falleth upon his knees?<br />

"Oh, holy Father, Pope Urban,<br />

Who canst bind and loose as well,<br />

Now save me from the evil one.<br />

And from the pains of hell.<br />

*"I am the noble Tannhauser,<br />

Who love and lust would win,<br />

These lured me to the Venusberg,<br />

Seven years I bode therein.<br />

"Dame Venus is a beauteous dame.<br />

Her charms have a subtle glow.<br />

Like sunshine with fragrance of flowers blent<br />

Is her voice so soft and low.<br />
