A German poem, Abendlied, or, Evening song by Friedrich Rückert was in the blank area in this full-page illustration.

Signed i think HARLEY, prolly John J. Harley, about whom i know very little. The engraver made the lines for the sky a bit wonky, and it was hard to avoid interference fringes on downsizing.

This engraving fills most of a page with a scene of a ruined stone archway with towers on either side leading perhaps to the courtyard of an overgrown medieval castle, perched on the side of a hill.

A shepherd guides sheep down the path through the arch towards us. In the background another shepherd with more sheep, and, further, perhaps haystacks. the blank space here contained a poem in German.

When the area was neglected, the Black Gate & the Castle were divided by a Victorian railway viaduct (carrying the east coast main line). This is the view from under its arches https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/55073112395/in/photostream/lightbox/

To be fair, at that period the area was a slum and the old fortifications left to rack and ruin.

Schwerin
A #poetry thread

—

i.

A noble house, famed,
was founded by a Slav lord
who was defeated and slain
by a swift Saxon sword:

House Mecklenburg rose
from Niklot’s nadir on the plains
to build a fortress, imposed
on his old lands once again

from the wreck of his past
rose the line of Prussian kings,
his legacy flowed at last
into the Kaisers’ riveted iron ring —

Be prepared for a *lot* of steep flights of stone steps, especially if you intend to wind your way through the levels to the roof of the keep (very tiring but amazing views, sadly not good if you have mobility problems though - Medieval builers didn't factor that in)
