Du, von Flammen umleuchteter
Fels mit strahlendem Doppelhaupt,
Höhn, dem Bacchos geweiht, und
Rebe, du, die jeglichen Tag
Aus frohkeimender Blüte Wein
230
In reicher Füll' hervorstromt;
Hehre Klüfte des Drachen, und
Ihr Bergwarten der Götter, du
Schneebedeckter, heiliger Berg!
Als der ewigen Göttinn Chor
235
Mocht' ich Reigentanzend, von Furcht
Frei, zum Nabel der Erde von
Dirka's Borne gelangen!
Strophe 2.
