Ich zittere, mich durchschaudert es kalt,
Und das Herz durchdringt
Um die leidende Mutter mir das Mitleid, der Gram.
Welcher, ach! von den Söhnen wird den Mordstrahl mit
( gramvolles Leid!
1275
Zeus! Erde, weh uns!)
Blut
Rothen in Bruders Brust, sendet des Bruders Geist
Durch Kampf und Mord in Hades Nacht?
Ach! Ueber wessen Leiche
Werd' ich der Klage Ruf heben? Ich Arme, weh!
1280
Ach, Erd', Erde!
Gegenstrophe.
