Baroness von Bunsen in Karlsruhe - late January, 1871
from Letter from Baroness Bunsen to her son George, 31 Jan 1871, pages 416-417:
I must write and rejoice with you, on the cessation of hostilities, on the hope of peace, on the grand appearance made by the whole German people...
On Sunday the children and the maids sang 'Nun danket alle Gott' - could I but sing, I should be incessantly going through the whole exquisite collection of Hymns of Thanksgiving
'And make the babbling gossip of the air
Cry out "O hear us! --"
