CHORUS.
By Strymon’s torrent alone she sang,
And Strymon shivered and coiled and sprang;
And her arms went wide to the wild sweet water,
And the love of the River around her rang.
We hail thee, Fruit of the River’s seed,
355
Young Zeus of the Dawn, on thy starry steed!
O ancient City, O Ida’s daughter,
Is God the Deliverer found indeed?
