Hermann and Dorothea by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

There are few modern poems of any country so perfect in their kind as the "Hermann and Dorothea" of Goethe. The basis of the poem is a historical incident. In the year 1731 the Archbishop of Salzburg drove out of his diocese a thousand Protestants, who took refuge in South Germany, and among whom was a girl who became the bride of the son of a rich burgher. The occasion of the girl's exile was changed by Goethe to more recent times, and in the poem she is represented as a German from the west bank of the Rhine fleeing from the turmoil caused by the French Revolution.
