One day, in the spring of 1901, Frau von Rath asked me if I could sing in German.
Frau von Rath maintained one of the most beautiful homes in the German capital, and her social functions were attended by leading dignitaries and officials of the Court.
I was desolate; but I agreed to sing, first begging Frau von Rath to draw the heavy curtains and turn on all the lights, as though for an evening function, so that I could wear my evening gown with the pearls and the diamonds.
For the empty fairy shoon, Hollow rath and yellow leaf, Hands unkissed to sun or moon, My grief--my grief!

The mighty wolf from his lair 'neath the rath on the East of Drumm Dara, To the banquet of bones will betake him, prime chief of the curs he will boast him.
I heard the music another time on a hot summer evening at the Rath of Ringlestown, in a field where all the grass had been burned off; and I often heard it in the wood of Tara.
The count had hardly driven away, when the Justiz-rath arrived, and the servant delivered the message.
Legations-rath Sturtz was at first left untroubled.

Justiz-rath Struensee passed his time in prison in playing at chess with the officers of the watch.
Etats-rath Reverdil had no personal liaisons with me, and would assuredly not have allowed me to support myself in an improper manner.
Guldberg obtained the title of Etats-rath in 1770, about the time when Struensee was appointed a councillor of conference.
From this house, the major went to Justiz-rath Struensee, whom he also arrested, and conveyed to the citadel.
Justiz-rath Struensee was also laid in fetters in his cell, but was not fastened to the wall.
Conferenz-rath Shumacher was also reappointed private secretary to the king, while retaining his post as deputy in the Chancery.
Everybody in the rath was silent for a few minutes.
The next minute, if you had been outside the rath and had laid your ear down on the turf which covered it, you would have heard nothing more than you might hear under the turf at any other time or in any other place.
And there's smooth roads and walks, and there's hills and great rocks, that we could live inside of as easy as in a rath itself.
They were tunes which everybody listening in that rath had known for hundreds of years.
Perhaps you would like to have me tell you how the inside of the rath looked too.
Then the music stopped all at once, and he heard the people inside the rath shouting: 'Who is spoiling our tune?
All we had to do was to let him hear us as we passed and let him see the door of the rath open, and in he came of himself to see what it was all about.

All the others in the rath promised that they'ld help me.
As he went on he sang a little louder and a little louder, till by and by the Good People in the rath began to listen to hear who or what it was that was singing their song with them, and then they caught the line that Lusmore had added.
But while ye stay in me rath ye'll do what I bid ye.
On this night that I have been telling you about, the Good People inside the rath were eating and drinking and dancing and making merry generally, as they do, you know, the most of the time.
Why doesn't a team like the Rath Brothers, for example, find itself the feature attraction?
The rath is an immense circular rampart of earth, nearly three quarters of a mile in circumference, fifty feet high, and so steep that I had great difficulty in getting up it, even by the path.
Here in the year 1001, hostages were sent from all Ireland to meet Brian Boru and proclaim him High King; and here, a century later, the O'Conors built a rath and a tower to guard the ford and levy tribute upon all who used it.
Colwyn's chief interest lay in the fact that, although the case against Hazel Rath was as strong as circumstantial evidence could make it, the supposed motive for the crime was weak.
I saw the possibility of that motive as soon as I heard Milly Saker's story, and learnt that Hazel Rath had lived for some years in the moat-house.
Mr. Heredith believes that Hazel Rath is innocent, and I suppose that is why he has called you into the case.
It was Phil who finally uttered the thought which was in all their minds: "Are you satisfied that Hazel Rath is innocent?
He saw that Hazel Rath had reached a state in which kindness and consideration, but no other means, might induce her to tell all she knew.
If Hazel Rath had not stolen the necklace, the whole of the facts took on new values.
It was in quite a different tone that he thanked Mrs. Rath for sending the servants to the library, and asked her to describe the household arrangements of the previous night.
I suppose there is, if it is proved that Hazel Rathdid not steal the necklace.
But now that we know that Nepcote is connected with the case I certainly think that a strong effort should be made to induce Hazel Rath to speak.
Nepcote's implication in the case lends colour to the theory that Hazel Rathmay be keeping silent for some such purpose.
If you can prove that Hazel Rath stole the necklace, it gives you an unassailable case against her.
Then I had better commence by informing you that Hazel Rath has broken her silence.
Mrs. Rath started from her seat, and looked wildly around as though seeking some avenue of escape from a threatened disaster.
Mr. Rathand I were talking about that last evening," said Madeleine, the color coming into her face a little.
Perhaps Lorenzo Rath could not have done better, from most standpoints, than to marry such an one.
Lorenzo Rath was buoyantly dear and jolly, and she realized that he was the nicest man that she had ever met.
She says Mr. Rath can't put his nose out of the door alone.
But she didn't know the status of Lorenzo Rath's heart, and Lorenzo Rath himself puzzled her not a little.
He probably was not wholly disinterested in his outlook, for the next bit of news that shook the community was that Lorenzo Rath had taken Mrs. Croft's house and moved in!
Oh, Jane, I'd be so much happier if you'd marry Mr. Rath and let me come and live with you!
Mr. Rath and I were talking about girls just now; we both thought what a pity it is that there are so few in these days.

One time Patrick slept on a Sunday, on a hill over the sea, at Drombo, when he heard the noise of Gentiles digging a rath on the Sabbath.
He hurried home to bring a spade, but when he got to the rath again he could not find the spot where he had seen it.
A few days after he learned this story: A great quantity of treasure had been buried in the rath in pagan times, and a number of evil faeries set to guard it; but some day it was to be found and belong to the family of the O’Byrnes.
One day he was straying about a rath called ‘Cashel Nore.
A man with a haggard face and unkempt hair, and clothes falling in pieces, came into therath and began digging.
There was the cromleach with its circling stones; There the green rath and the round narrow tower; There was the prison whence the captive's groans Had many a time moaned in the midnight hour.
The Rath recommended him to write to the English Embassy in my behalf, and allowed him to send me outer clothing better suited to the interior of a prison than the best clothes I had donned to spend the holiday in.
The Rath was alone—with the exception of his secretary, who diligently recorded my answers.
The Rath promised to do what he could for me; and I was then surprised and pleased by the entrance of my employer.
It may be seen again in the name given in former times to a section of the Clan Mac-Ra, "Clann ic Rath Mholach" or "Hairy Mac Raas.

In Nürnberg in 1475 again, the Rath had to interfere with the intolerable nuisance of pigs and other farm-yard stock running about loose in the streets.
In Frankfurt in 1481 the pigsties in the town had become such a nuisance that the Rath had to forbid them in the front of the houses by a formal decree.
There is not through the length and breadth of the country a conspicuous rath or barrow of which we cannot find the traditional history preserved in this ancient literature.
