ons.A Storm is Gathering Tells -wife is resting here on her wayto demand of Gessler her husband and son.Suddenly she hears her sons voice and isoverjoyed to see him brought to her byMatilda. She clasps him in her arms, andanxiously inquires for her husband. Ma-tilda says that Tell has been removed fromAltdorf Prison, and taken across the lake.She has no sooner spoken than Tell ap-pears, having escaped from the boat andsent an arrow through the tyrants heart.Arnold and the patriots appear, rejoicingthat Gessler has been slain and that theSwiss are free once more. The storm breaks, and as if to an-nounce liberty to Switzerland the sunbursts forth, revealing the glittering, snowypeaks of the Alps in all their dazzlingbeauty. An invocation to Freedom comesfrom every throat: Tell: Let us invoke, with hearts devout,Thee, oh Freedom, to sway each heart!Thou gavst us powr to strike and conquer,Do thou neer depart! All: Thou gavst us powr to strike and conquer!We are free, do thou neer depart!
