Raimond Monologue from The Maid of Orleans: A Tragedy

From The Maid of Orleans: A Tragedy by Friedrich Schiller

male · anguished · 43 sec

The heavens themselves bore witness to thy guilt! (JOHANNA: The heavens spoke, and therefore I was silent.) Thou with one word couldst clear thyself, and hast In this unhappy error left the world? (JOHANNA: It was no error--'twas the will of heaven.) Thou innocently sufferedst this shame, And no complaint proceeded from thy lips! --I am amazed at thee, I stand o'erwhelmed. My heart is troubled in its inmost depths. Most gladly I receive the word as truth, For to believe thy guilt was hard indeed. But could I ever dream a human heart Would meet in silence such a fearful doom!
