Hail to thee mountain beloved with thy glittering purple dyed summit	A
Hail to thee also fair sun looking so lovingly on	B
Thee too I hail thou smiling plain and ye murmuring lindens	C
Ay and the chorus so glad cradled on yonder high boughs	C
Thee too peaceably azure in infinite measure extending	D
Round the dusky hued mount over the forest so green	E
Round about me who now from my chamber's confinement escaping	D
And from vain frivolous talk gladly seek refuge with thee	F
Through me to quicken me runs the balsamic stream of thy breezes	C
While the energetical light freshens the gaze as it thirsts	C
Bright o'er the blooming meadow the changeable colors are gleaming	D
But the strife full of charms in its own grace melts away	G
Freely the plain receives me with carpet far away reaching	D
Over its friendly green wanders the pathway along	H
Round me is humming the busy bee and with pinion uncertain	I
Hovers the butterfly gay over the trefoil's red flower	J
Fiercely the darts of the sun fall on me the zephyr is silent	K
Only the song of the lark echoes athwart the clear air	L
Now from the neighboring copse comes a roar and the tops of the alders	C
Bend low down in the wind dances the silvery grass	C
Night ambrosial circles me round in the coolness so fragrant	K
Greets me a beauteous roof formed by the beeches' sweet shade	M
In the depths of the wood the landscape suddenly leaves me	F
And a serpentine path guides up my footsteps on high	N
Only by stealth can the light through the leafy trellis of branches	C
Sparingly pierce and the blue smilingly peeps through the boughs	C
But in a moment the veil is rent and the opening forest	O
Suddenly gives back the day's glittering brightness to me	F
Boundlessly seems the distance before my gaze to be stretching	D
And in a purple tinged hill terminates sweetly the world	P
	-
Deep at the foot of the mountain that under me falls away steeply	F
Wanders the greenish hued stream looking like glass as it flows	C
Endlessly under me see I the ether and endlessly o'er	J
Giddily look I above shudderingly look I below	Q
But between the infinite height and the infinite hollow	Q
Safely the wanderer moves over a well guarded path	R
Smilingly past me are flying the banks all teeming with riches	C
And the valley so bright boasts of its industry glad	S
See how yonder hedgerows that sever the farmer's possessions	C
Have by Demeter been worked into the tapestried plain	T
Kindly decree of the law of the Deity mortal sustaining	D
Since from the brazen world love vanished forever away	G
But in freer windings the measured pastures are traversed	U
Now swallowed up in the wood now climbing up to the hills	C
By a glimmering streak the highway that knits lands together	J
Over the smooth flowing stream quietly glide on the rafts	C
	-
Ofttimes resound the bells of the flocks in the fields that seem living	D
And the shepherd's lone song wakens the echo again	V
Joyous villages crown the stream in the copse others vanish	W
While from the back of the mount others plunge wildly below	Q
Man still lives with the land in neighborly friendship united	X
And round his sheltering roof calmly repose still his fields	C
Trustingly climbs the vine high over the low reaching window	Q
While round the cottage the tree circles its far stretching boughs	C
Happy race of the plain Not yet awakened to freedom	Y
Thou and thy pastures with joy share in the limited law	Z
Bounded thy wishes all are by the harvest's peaceable circuit	A
And thy lifetime is spent e'en as the task of the day	G
	-
But what suddenly hides the beauteous view A strange spirit	A
Over the still stranger plain spreads itself quickly afar	A2
Coyly separates now what scarce had lovingly mingled	B2
And 'tis the like that alone joins itself on to the like	C2
Orders I see depicted the haughty tribes of the poplars	C
Marshalled in regular pomp stately and beauteous appear	D2
All gives token of rule and choice and all has its meaning	D
'Tis this uniform plan points out the Ruler to me	F
Brightly the glittering domes in far away distance proclaim him	E2
Out of the kernel of rocks rises the city's high wall	F2
Into the desert without the fauns of the forest are driven	I
But by devotion is lent life more sublime to the stone	G2
Man is brought into nearer union with man and around him	E2
Closer more actively wakes swifter moves in him the world	P
See the emulous forces in fiery conflict are kindled	B2
Much they effect when they strive more they effect when they join	H2
Thousands of hands by one spirit are moved yet in thousands of bosoms	C
Beats one heart all alone by but one feeling inspired	I2
Beats for their native land and glows for their ancestors' precepts	C
Here on the well beloved spot rest now time honored bones	C
	-
Down from the heavens descends the blessed troop of immortals	C
In the bright circle divine making their festal abode	J2
Granting glorious gifts they appear and first of all Ceres	C
Offers the gift of the plough Hermes the anchor brings next	K2
Bacchus the grape and Minerva the verdant olive tree's branches	C
Even his charger of war brings there Poseidon as well	L2
Mother Cybele yokes to the pole of her chariot the lions	C
And through the wide open door comes as a citizen in	M2
Sacred stones 'Tis from ye that proceed humanity's founders	C
Morals and arts ye sent forth e'en to the ocean's far isles	C
'Twas at these friendly gates that the law was spoken by sages	C
In their Penates' defence heroes rushed out to the fray	G
On the high walls appeared the mothers embracing their infants	C
Looking after the march till the distance 'twas lost	N2
Then in prayer they threw themselves down at the deities' altars	C
Praying for triumph and fame praying for your safe return	O2
Honor and triumph were yours but naught returned save your glory	F
And by a heart touching stone told are your valorous deeds	C
Traveller when thou com'st to Sparta proclaim to the people	P2
That thou hast seen us lie here as by the law we were bid	Q2
Slumber calmly ye loved ones for sprinkled o'er by your life blood	X
Flourish the olive trees there joyously sprouts the good seed	R2
In its possessions exulting industry gladly is kindled	B2
And from the sedge of the stream smilingly signs the blue god	S2
Crushingly falls the axe on the tree the Dryad sighs sadly	F
Down from the crest of the mount plunges the thundering load	J2
Winged by the lever the stone from the rocky crevice is loosened	T2
Into the mountain's abyss boldly the miner descends	C
Mulciber's anvil resounds with the measured stroke of the hammer	J
Under the fist's nervous blow spurt out the sparks of the steel	U2
Brilliantly twines the golden flax round the swift whirling spindles	C
Through the strings of the yarn whizzes the shuttle away	G
	-
Far in the roads the pilot calls and the vessels are waiting	D
That to the foreigner's land carry the produce of home	V2
Others gladly approach with the treasures of far distant regions	C
High on the mast's lofty head flutters the garland of mirth	W2
See how yon markets those centres of life and of gladness are swarming	D
Strange confusion of tongues sounds in the wondering ear	X2
On to the pile the wealth of the earth is heaped by the merchant	K
All that the sun's scorching rays bring forth on Africa's soil	Y2
All that Arabia prepares that the uttermost Thule produces	C
High with heart gladdening stores fills Amalthea her horn	Z2
Fortune wedded to talent gives birth there to children immortal	P2
Suckled in liberty's arms flourish the arts there of joy	A3
With the image of life the eyes by the sculptor are ravished	K
And by the chisel inspired speaks e'en the sensitive stone	G2
Skies artificial repose on slender Ionian columns	C
And a Pantheon includes all that Olympus contains	C
Light as the rainbow's spring through the air as the dart from the bowstring	D
Leaps th	B3
