zither's

Updated: June 12, 2025

"I grudge him not his trelllsed guard, His bolts of iron, strongly barred; Yet, wandering in the cool night-air, I touch my zither's string, And as afore her beauties rare, Her wondrous graces sing, And e'en the gardener shall not dare Refuse the praise I bring."

Friedrich Heinrich Karl Freiherr de La Motte-Fouqué - The Two Captains
