Sånger verherrlichen dich
Nun auf der Gitarre mit sieben Saiten,
435
Die tont im Gebirg, nun ohne Lyra
Zu Sparta, so oft der karnesische Mond mit den kreisenden
Horen
Wiedergekehrt, und im Vollglanze strahlt Selene,
Und im glücklichen, frohen Land Athene's.
Solch heilige Lieder hinterließest
440
Du den Sängern sterbend.
Strophe 2.
