Dweh, Erd' und allleuchtender
Strahl des Helios, du! D seht, seht sie an,
1225
Das unselig grause Weib, ehe sie
Die blutvolle Hand hebt zu der Söhne Mord!
Sie sprossen ja von deinem goldnen Stamm;
Ein Gråul war' es, wenn göttliches Geschlecht
Fiele von Menschenhand.
1230
Darum, o heilig Licht, hemme sie, wehre sie,
Treibe vom Haus die blutige Erinnys fort,
Das Graun, das von Rachgeistern getrieben wird!
Gegenstrophe.
