This question is one which has puzzled the German philologist W. G. Wagner. The “Waltz” in Waltz was not intended as the “Waltz Für Elise” but the “Waltz in German,” a phrase he translated into English. In our own time he has now given to the poem the meaning of the “Waltz in German”, so that it now refers to the “Waltz” in German. But we should not, and cannot, be content with this interpretation. Let us consider what the poem really says. On the one hand, it speaks of the “Waltz of the Red Banner,” i.e., of the German battle of the Rhine, which in fact took place in the year 1611, and, with the whole of the world at war with the Pope, it speaks of “our glorious battle in the North” (p. 45). What then is the meaning of “Our glorious battle in the North”? It is one of the most celebrated episodes of German combat during the Hundred Days of the Wars of Religion. When our men were about to take their oath of allegiance to God and country, the Germans were attacked by the French, who had been driven out of France by the Duke of Wellington and the Count of Toulon. As in war every one fights for his country, it is evident that everyone should fight to the death. On the other hand, the poem is not merely attacking the Pope, for it also refers to the Pope “as the one who fought for us” (p. 46). Hence it is clear what the poem means when it tells us about our glorious battle in the North. But if we are to regard the poem as an anti-Popes poem, then the meaning of “Our glorious battle in the North” will then be quite different from that of the original word. And to interpret this as a “Hundred Days of the Wars of Religion” poem is an utterly impossible interpretation, too great a stretch for the philological mind. To make the “Golden Days” poem an anti-Popes verse is just as absurd as making “the Hundred Days of the Wars of Religion” an anti-popes verse. How could it, without having anything to do with the “Waltz in German” and the “Waltz in German,” be an anti-Popes verse? One cannot escape from reality. This “Golden Days” poem can certainly be regarded as an anti-Popes poem, for
