# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/letzt

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry letzt. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ letzt, superlative adjective, ‘last,’ from the equivalent Middle High German lęst, lęȥȥist, superlative of laȥ, adjective, ‘faint’; the Modern High German form seems to be due to Low German, which must have produced (lętist and lęzt (for lętst). These forms actually occur in the Heliand. In Old High German lęȥȥist, laȥȥôst, Anglo-Saxon lœtma and lœtmest (pointing to a Gothic *latuma, ‘latest’); also Anglo-Saxon latost, English last. The posit. of these Old Teutonic superlats. is the Old Teutonic adjectival stem lata- (see laß), literally ‘lazy, inactive, dilatory’; letzter originally means ‘most dilatory, latest’ (compare Anglo-Saxon and English late). In the phrase zu guter Leztz, ‘for the last time, finally,’ the noun is a corruption of Letz, which is connected with Middle High German lętzen, ‘to end, take one's leave, take refreshment,’ mentioned under letzen, hence the expression meant originally ‘as a choice farewell-banquet.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/lind

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry lind. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ lind, gelinde, adjective, ‘gentle,’ from Middle High German linde, Old High German lindi, adjective, ‘soft, gentle, tender, mild’ (Gothic *linþs is wanting); corresponding to Old Saxon lîthi, Anglo-Saxon lîþe, ‘mild, friendly, soft,’ English lithe. In Scandinavian an exact correspondence is not found; the term used is linr, ‘friendly, mild, soft’ (whence Lappish lines is borrowed), which with Bavarian len, ‘soft,’ Dutch lenig, ‘pliant,’ points to the fact that the dental of the German and English words is a suffix. Hence lin- is the root from which are formed in Old Teutonic Gothic af-linnan, ‘to go away, yield,’ Old Icelandic linna, ‘to cease,’ Anglo-Saxon linnan, ‘to cease, part from, lose,’ Old High German bilinnan, ‘to relax, leave off.’ Therefore the Teutonic root meant originally ‘yielding disposition.’ Compare Old Slovenian lěnŭ, ‘lazy,’ Latin lên-i-s, ‘gentle, mild,’ and lentus, ‘flexible, pliant.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/link

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry link. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ link, adjective, ‘left,’ from the equivalent Middle High German linc, adjective, with the variant lęnc (genitive -kes); the form with sl is probably quite as old as that with initial l (compare drosseln, Stier, Hocken, and lecken). In Old High German only lęncha, feminine, ‘left hand,’ is recorded; the adjective is rendered by winistar, Middle High German winster, in Bavarian lërz, lërc, and tenk, Lower Rhenish slinc (this is doubtless a primitive variant of link, as is shown by the analogies under drosseln, Stier, Hocken, and lecken); in English left (Anglo-Saxon *lyfte? Dutch lucht). In the Old Teutonic dialects there are no other correspondences of link; perhaps Modern High German lenken is allied to this word with the primary meaning ‘oblique, awry’; lenken signifies literally ‘to direct obliquely.’ Schlimm may also be a cognate.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/leuchten

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry leuchten. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ leuchten, verb, from the equivalent Middle High German and Old High German liuhten, ‘to shine, give light,’ corresponding to Gothic liuhtjan, ‘to shine, give light’; an Old Teutonic denominative from the adjective liuhta-, ‘light’; leuchten meant literally ‘to be light, bright.’ Compare licht.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/licht

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry licht. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ licht, adjective, ‘light, luminous,’ from Middle High German lieht, Old High German lioht, adjective, ‘bright, radiant, shining’; corresponding to Anglo-Saxon leóht, English light, adjective; Gothic *liuhts, ‘bright,’ may be inferred from its derivative liuhtan, ‘to give light’ (see leuchten). It is questionable whether the dental licht is of participle origin. as in alt, falt, laut, &c.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/lieb

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry lieb. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ lieb, adjective, ‘dear, esteemed,’ from the equivalent Middle High German liep (inflected lieber), Old High German liob (inflected liobêr). It corresponds to Gothic liufs (b), Anglo-Saxon leóf, English lief, adjective, Dutch lief, Old Icelandic ljúfr; a common Teutonic adjective with the general meaning ‘dear’; it is regularly derived from pre-Teutonic *léubho-, which is accurately represented by Old Slovenian ljubŭ (Aryan root leubh, by gradation lubh). An Old Aryan adjective for ‘dear’ (Sanscrit priyá-s) was changed in meaning at an early period in Teutonic (see frei) and supplanted by lieb; Modern High German and Middle High German lieben, Old High German liubôn, ‘to love’; to this is allied Anglo-Saxon lufian, English to love, with a weaker vowel stage of the root (Anglo-Saxon lufu, equivalent to English love). Since High German Lob, geloben, erlauben, glauben belong to the same Teutonic root lub, by gradation leub (pre-Teutonic lubh, leubh), we must assign to the latter a wider meaning, something like ‘pleasure’ and ‘approbation’; Sanscrit lubh, ‘to demand violently,’ Latin lŭbens, libens, ‘with pleasure, willingly,’ lŭbet, ‘it pleases, is agreeable,’ lŭbîdo, libîdo, ‘pleasure, longing, desire.’ With these perhaps the common Teutonic word lustus, equivalent to Lust, is also connected.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/liederlich

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry liederlich. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ liederlich, adjective, ‘dissolute,’ from Middle High German liederlich, adjective, ‘light, pretty, trifling, frivolous’ (not recorded in Old High German). Anglo-Saxon lŷþre, adjective, ‘miserable, bad,’ points to *liuþrs. To this is doubtlessly allied lotter- in compounds pointing to a Gothic *ludrs. Probably Greek ἐλεύθερος, ‘free,’ like the Teutonic words, may be traced to a root leuth. Lüderlich for liederlich is a recent form of the adjective connecting it with Luder (Middle High German luoder).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/lichten

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry lichten. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ lichten, verb, ‘to lighten, weigh (anchor),’ Modern High German only; Middle High German lüften, ‘to raise aloft, lift up, air,’ as well as English to lift, are unconnected with this word. Lichten, as a nautical term, is borrowed from Low German lichten, literally ‘to make light,’ then ‘to lift up.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/liefern

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry liefern. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ liefern, verb, ‘to deliver, furnish, supply,’ first occurs in early Modern High German, formed from Middle Latin liberare, ‘dare, praebere’ (French livrer).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/liegen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry liegen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ liegen, verb, ‘to lie, be situated,’ from the equivalent Middle High German ligen, licken, Old High German licken, ligen, strong verb; corresponding to Dutch liggen, Anglo-Saxon ličǧan, English to lie (ligjan, lag, legans, was the originally gradation, but Gothic ligan in the present); the common Teutonic verb for liegen, which has numerous cognates in Aryan (root legh). Compare Greek λέκτρον, λέχος, neuter, ‘bed,’ ἄλοχος, ‘bed-fellow, wife,’ also λεχώ, ‘woman in childbed,’ λοχέω, ‘to give birth to’; λόχος, ‘lying in wait, ​bush,’ also ‘lying-in, childbirth, In Greek epic poets aorist forms of a verb formed from a root legh, λεχ, have been preserved, λέκτο, λέξατο, &c., with the meaning ‘to lie down, encamp.’ The verb is also wanting in Latin, where, however, lectus, ‘bed,’ a derivative of the root legh, is retained. Old Slovenian lęgą (lešti), ‘to lie down,’ lezą (ležati), ‘to lie.’ In East Aryan the root is unknown. Compare legen, Lager, and löschen.
# Ambarvalia/Burbidge/He builds on Nature who to genuine Art

XI.
He builds on Nature who to genuine Art Entrusts his bold foundation: not alone Is the soil Earth, but whatsoe'er is grown Out of the genial vigour of Earth's heart: The loftiest Alp which scruples not to dart Into another world its flying cone Springs from the humble Earth and is her own; When the pine breaks the sod, a mother's smart, Nought more, she feels—'tis part of her, although The currents of a hundred feet above Toss its wild leaves that never can be still; Yet doth she feed it with a mother's love, And there the heaven-instructed birds bestow Their pensile tenements and fear no ill.
# Ambarvalia/Burbidge/Lilie. A Myth

LILIE. A MYTH.
Within this bosom she was born, I say not if 'twas day or night I say not if 'twas eve or morn When Lilie saw the light.
A vision that for seventeen years Had floated in men's eyes was she; A bright machine of smiles and tears, No more—till she knew me.
Into my arms that vision crept, And nothing knew she there should find! And I breathed on her as she slept, And she became a Mind.
And now she was and she was not, When, faltering betwixt part and whole, I closer clasped her, and begot Upon herself her Soul.
I was a coarse and vulgar man, I vile and vulgar things had done; And I, as Nature's instincts ran, Was wont to let them run.
And yet to such a man as I Did Lilie her pure fancy fling; And loved me— as a butterfly May love a flower of Spring.
She sought my breast, she nestled there, For nought knew she that should forbid: God help me! but she was too fair,— I knew not what I did.
I knew not what I did, and now Scarce know if I did wrong or right; But in my arms, I wot not how, There came a Soul to light.
But as one bends o'er waters clear, And sees the cloud-reflecting space Give quickly up the idle sphere To yield a human face,
So while we talked that blissful eve, I saw my Lilie's heaven-grey eye; I saw her virgin breast conceive The deep Humanity.
And then, upon her wondering still, I poured the warm breath of a man; And so in Lilie's soul the thrill Of woman's life began.
There's many a tale shall say and prove, How some are ruined by their charms; But Lilie, as I live and love, Was born within my arms.
# Ambarvalia/Burbidge/London

II. LONDON.
O City, ever wrapt in thine own mist! Exempt almost from change of night and day, Little thou knowest of the dawn-lights gay Or the pale tower by sunset's glory kissed. Thee the wild Thunder, bully as he list, Can scarce make hearken: the defenceless Snow Is soiled beneath thy footsteps ere thou know How fair a thing thine arrogance oppressed. So reign'st Thou—in thy calm obscurity Not wanting grandeur, though it be no more Than that of a vain world, to whom unknown Heaven's mercies gently call, Heaven's warnings roar, While in a dim complacence of its own Enwrapt, it lets the life of life pass by.
# Ambarvalia/Burbidge/Lord, I will take no comfort but of Thee

VII.
Lord, I will take no comfort but of Thee. I had an earthly plant—a pleasant vine, From whose dear grapes I pressed delightful wine, That made my heart as merry as could be. Thine anger hath cut down that cheerful tree; Or, at the least, (for yet I but divine) Thou hast cut off its joyful fruit from me, And made its precious shade no longer mine. Shall I then murmur? If my road henceforth Lies hot before me, wearisome and bare, And no green garland, twined among my hair, Will guard, as it was wont, my tortured eyes, What then? The sweeter after this stripped earth Will be the shady rest of Paradise.
# Ambarvalia/Burbidge/Hymn to the Holy Spirit

DEVOTIONAL POEMS.
I.
HYMN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT.
I.
Honour to Thy Holy Name! May we love it, may we fear it, Set in everlasting fame! Honour, honour, praise and glory, Comforter, Inspirer, Friend, Till these troubles transitory End in glory without end!
II.
Like a midnight of soft rain, Seeds that lay in silence lurking, Spring up green and grow amain:
Roots which in their dusty bosoms Hid an age of golden days, Stirring, with a cloud of blossoms Clothe their bareness for Thy praise.
III.
Sometimes like a morning sun, On the dazzled soul Thou breakest, Heaven at once on earth begun! Sometimes like a star appearing, Seen and lost as earth-winds blow, Wishing, hoping, thinking, fearing, Thou hast saved us ere we know.
IV.
To the sinner in his sin; Thou to spirits humbly seeking, Answerest by a voice within; Happier souls, like fruit-trees leading Ordered branches o'er the wall, Find in Thee the solace needing, Shower or sunshine, Thou art all!
V.
Overshadowing the earth, Oft his turrets, split asunder, Cast the homeless wanderer forth: Underneath his towers derided, Conscience lurked, as strong as hell, But Thine Eye the times divided, And the spark in season fell!
VI.
Vexed with ceaseless rave and roar, Keeps an inner silence ever On its consecrated shore, Flowered with flowers and green with grasses; So the poor through Thee abide, Every outer care that passes Deepening more the peace inside.
VII.
Anxious night and weary day, In the footsteps of his Master, Seeks the sheep that run astray;
Glad to warn and glad to cherish, With a faithful tender tongue Cheers the weak ones near to perish, Gently leads the ewes with young.
VIII.
Justifiest our delight, Thou our ignorance informest, And our wisdom shapest right; Thou in peace dost keep, defendest In the hour of doubt and strife; Thou beginnest and Thou endest All that Christians count of life!
IX.
Take our spirits unto Thee; Fain we would be happy, lowly, Make us as we fain would be! 'Tis not our own will approves us, If we praise or if we sue, 'Tis Thine own kind Spirit moves us, For 'tis Thine to will and do.
# Ambarvalia/Burbidge/I Would

I WOULD.
Little it were (and that by me uncraved), Though by the powerful magic of my pen All time should own thy peerless beauty saved For an eternal idol among men.
Something indeed it were, I justly own, My passion to embroider on the hem Of thy perfections—so to send it down Futurity, appendent upon them.
For though a little thing, yet were it sweet To testify that thou whose sovran sight Should sum all human-kind kissing thy feet, In me at least didst realise thy right.
But what I crave,—what day and night my heart Cries for, with yearning not to be represt, Is that all time should see, glassed in my art, Thy image, as I bear it in my breast.
Beauty is common, and the triumph poor That treads upon the sense, not on the will; At best its empire partial and unsure, For some men are born blind, and some see ill.
But to be peerless through a peerless soul, Sending through flesh its pure transpicuous ray; To wear, in mere completion of the whole, The fairest form that ever bloomed in clay.
As this is truly greatness, so to live Thus beyond death is glory truly read; Mere admiration is but fugitive, But Love is faithful, even to the dead.
Reflective Love, that to the thing approved Transforms the approver;—this for thee I seek, That the base world, regarding thee beloved, May grow as thou art, lovely, pure and meek.
And such the love which thou I know must own, Seen only—but conceived of—yet to be Thy mere apparitor—but to bear thy crown, Alas! is all too excellent for me.
# Ambarvalia/Burbidge/Il Geloso

IL GELOSO.
My misery chokes my life! And thou, the cause of all, Dost sit and walk, and, mocking on the strife, Kiss hands to every fopling of the ball!
Chit, you are carrying honey in your palm; Beware thy steps! What! see it fall to ground. Waste, and be lost, which were the balm Of such a wound as mine—of all this wound!
What did I mutter while by thee I stood? I muttered, "Dragging her to shameful shade, Shall I let forth the battle of my blood On those white plains?"———Art not afraid?
'Twere but to leap a thought even now! sand holds this sea; By paper is confined this fire: beware! Myself I honour, while I honour thee; In every act of thine is held a double care.
Fiends whisper, " Warn her not! Let fate proceed! And vanity were daunted for all time." In some sort 'twere a charitable deed: Make it a sacrifice, and 'tis sublime!
But no, though thou art silly, shallow, vain, 'Twere pity to despoil a thing so fair. Will it be done? Or shall I still refrain? O silly creature, suffer me to spare!
# Ambarvalia/Burbidge/Evening Stanzas

EVENING STANZAS.
Where walks by day the peaceful Eve? In Heaven's own gardens, believe, She gathers the delight Which, hoarded up from hour to hour In her sweet breast, the faithful Power Brings down to earth at night.
Come, gentle Eve! She will not hear: The distant fields are bold and clear, Though from the sultry west The clouds their progress have begun, And with poised orb the crimson sun Is waiting for his rest.
She heard—she comes!—anear, afar! Already her first twinkling star Is caught among the trees; And odours which the day confined Are loading with a grateful mind Her liberating breeze.
May, violet, primrose, all and each She welcomes with a kindly speech, Which, passing on the air, Cheers every root; nor ill content Leans the low daisy on the bent, For she hath had her share.
Meek subject, Evening, of thy reign, The river vails his glittering train, And round the misty field Flows silently, his easier breast, (With warring lights no more distrest,) Half seen and half concealed.
With what a spirit-light the trees Attire themselves at thy first breeze! —A light as it were thrown From that deep joy that works like grief; Which now in every delicate leaf Is settling into stone.
Nor lifeless things alone obey Thy rule: beneath the alders gray The dazzling gnats appear, Thy minstrelsy!—a humble quire, Yet joyful as the festive lyre If but the heart can hear.
High delegate of Heaven's own rest! If man's impure and anxious breast Thy loveliness despise, How thankful is the innocent earth! How gladly pour their welcome forth The unpolluted skies!
Earth's sweetest scent, Air's fairest light Are thine by immemorial right; Thine is the grateful boon Of waters locked in calmest shine; These jetty trees are only thine, And thine this crescent moon!
What wouldst thou more? Benignant Power, Art thou disquiet in thy bower So brightly decked, so fair? Alas! the voices which the best Should thank thee for thy peace and rest, How seldom they are there!
Not for thyself, for us thy brow So oft with an uneasy glow Is flushed, thy peaceful eyes Are vexed with tresses all undecked And gloom, reproach of the neglect It almost justifies.
Yet walkest thou not in vain, sweet Eve, At least to-night, we may believe, From this resplendent face, Though oft denial, breeding doubt, Leave not thy cheeriest look without Its melancholy grace.
# Ambarvalia/Burbidge/Lapse

LAPSE.
A heavenly Night!—methinks to me The soul of other times returns; Sweet as the scents the orange-tree Drops in the wind-flower's scarlet urns, When sunset, like a city, burns Across the glassy midland sea.
This night gives back that double day, Which clothed the earth when I was young! A light most like some godlike lay By parted hero-angels sung:— It stirred my heart; and through my tongue It passed, methought,—but passed away.
The entrancement of that time is o'er, A calmer, freer soul is here; I dream not as I dreamed of yore, Awake to sin, awake to fear; I own the earth,—I see, I hear, I feel;—may I dream no more!
Farewell, wild world of bygone days, Here let me now more safely tread!
I ask no glory's vagrant blaze, To dance around my shining head: Be peace and hope my crown instead, With love, God willing, for my praise!
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Harnisch

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Harnisch. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Harnisch, masculine, ‘harness, armour,’ from Middle High German harnasch, variants harnas, harnesch, neuter, ‘harness’; borrowed at the end of the 12th century from Old French harnais, ‘armour, gear,’ which has come to be a common Romance term (Italian arnese), but may be traced probably to a Keltic source (Welsh haiarnaez, ‘iron utensils’); the connecting link might be Middle English harnez, ‘armour’ (English harness).

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Harz

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Harz. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Harz, neuter, ‘resin,’ from Middle High German harz, neuter and masculine, ‘resin, bitumen,’ with the variants hars, harse; Old High German harz, and with a suffix harzoh, ‘resin’; Dutch hars, feminine, with an abnormal s, but Low German hart; unknown to English and Scandinavian as well as Gothic; of obscure origin, scarcely allied to Greek κάρδαμον, ‘cress,’ For other Old Teutonic words with the same meaning see under Bernstein and Ritt (also Theer).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Harlekin

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Harlekin. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Harlekin, masculine, ‘harlequin,’ first naturalised towards the end of the 17th century from Italian arlecchino (applied to the masked clown in Italian comedy), and French harlequin, arlequin.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Harke

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Harke. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Harke, feminine, ‘rake,’ a Low German word, in Upper German Rechen; compare Dutch hark, Anglo-Saxon *hearge, EL. harrow, Old Icelandic herfe, neuter, ‘harrow,’ Danish harv, Swedish hœrf. Considering the almost certain identity of the words, their phonetic relations present some difficulties. The root might perhaps be Sanscrit kharj, ‘to scratch,’ yet Anglo-Saxon hyrwe (*hearge), English harrow, Old Icelandic herfe, ‘rake,’ are difficult to reconcile with it.
