Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCDEDD FGFG AHAHIBIBBJKJKLAAMM| CLOUD MAIDENS that float on forever | A |
| Dew sprinkled fleet bodies and fair | B |
| Let us rise from our Sire's loud river | A |
| Great Ocean and soar through the air | B |
| To the peaks of the pine covered mountains where the pines hang as tressed of hair | B |
| Let us seek the watch towers undaunted | C |
| Where the well watered cornfields abound | D |
| And through murmurs of rivers nymph haunted | E |
| The songs of the sea waves resound | D |
| And the sun in the sky never wearies of spreading his radiance around | D |
| - | |
| Let us cast off the haze | F |
| Of the mists from our band | G |
| Till with far seeing gaze | F |
| We may look on the land | G |
| - | |
| Cloud maidens that bring the rain shower | A |
| To the Pallas loved land let us wing | H |
| To the land of stout heroes and Power | A |
| Where Kekrops was hero and king | H |
| Where honor and silence is given | I |
| To the mysteries that none may declare | B |
| Where are gifts to the high gods in heaven | I |
| When the house of the gods is laid bare | B |
| Where are lofty roofed temples and statues well carven and fair | B |
| Where are feasts to the happy immortals | J |
| When the sacred procession draws near | K |
| Where garlands make bright the bright portals | J |
| At all seasons and months in the year | K |
| And when spring days are here | L |
| Then we tread to the wine god a measure | A |
| In Bacchanal dance and in pleasure | A |
| 'Mid the contests of sweet singing choirs | M |
| And the crash of loud lyres | M |
