Χορός

φροῦδαί σοι θυσίαι χορῶν τʼ

εὔφημοι κέλαδοι κατʼ ὄρ-

φναν τε παννυχίδες θεῶν,

χρυσέων τε ξοάνων τύποι

Φρυγῶν τε ζάθεοι σελᾶ-
1075

ναι συνδώδεκα πλήθει.

μέλει μέλει μοι τάδʼ εἰ φρονεῖς, ἄναξ,

οὐράνιον ἕδρανον ἐπιβεβὼς

αἰθέρα τε πτόλεως ὀλομένας,

ἃν πυρὸς αἰθομένα κατέλυσεν ὁρμά.

Chorus

Gone are your sacrifices! gone the dancer’s cheerful shout! gone the vigils of the gods as night closed in! your images of carven gold are now no more;

and Phrygia ’s holy festivals, twelve times a year, at each full moon, are ended now. It is this, it is this that fills me with anxious thought whether you, lord, seated on the sky, your heavenly throne, care at all that my city is destroyed,
1075

a prey to the furious fiery blast.

Hin, hin sind dir die Opfer, der

Chore fröhlicher Ruf im Dunkel,
1060

Nachtfeste der Götter;¹

Hin ist goldener Bilder Glanz,

Hin die zwölfmal erneuten heiligen

Mondsfeiern der Phryger.²

Mich kummert's schwer, ob du dessen denkst, o Herr,
1065

Umwandelnd deiner Himmel Siz

In Aethershöhn, als die Stadt unterging,

Die des umlodernden Feuers Gewalt verzehrte.

Zweite Strophe.
