| Like the gleam | A |
| Of a star so bright | B |
| Kindly spirits | C |
| High above the clouds | D |
| Nourished him while youthful | E |
| In the copse between the cliffs | F |
| - | |
| Young and fresh | G |
| From the clouds he danceth | H |
| Down upon the marble rocks | I |
| Then tow'rd heaven | J |
| Leaps exulting | K |
| - | |
| Through the mountain passes | L |
| Chaseth he the colour'd pebbles | M |
| And advancing like a chief | N |
| Tears his brother streamlets with him | O |
| In his course | P |
| - | |
| In the valley down below | Q |
| 'Neath his footsteps spring the flowers | R |
| And the meadow | Q |
| In his breath finds life | S |
| - | |
| Yet no shady vale can stay him | O |
| Nor can flowers | R |
| Round his knees all softly twining | K |
| With their loving eyes detain him | O |
| To the plain his course he taketh | H |
| Serpent winding | K |
| - | |
| Social streamlets | R |
| Join his waters And now moves he | T |
| O'er the plain in silv'ry glory | T |
| And the plain in him exults | R |
| And the rivers from the plain | U |
| And the streamlets from the mountain | J |
| Shout with joy exclaiming Brother | V |
| Brother take thy brethren with thee | T |
| With thee to thine aged father | V |
| To the everlasting ocean | J |
| Who with arms outstretching far | W |
| Waiteth for us | R |
| Ah in vain those arms lie open | J |
| To embrace his yearning children | J |
| For the thirsty sand consumes us | R |
| In the desert waste the sunbeams | R |
| Drink our life blood hills around us | R |
| Into lakes would dam us Brother | V |
| Take thy brethren of the plain | U |
| Take thy brethren of the mountain | J |
| With thee to thy father's arms | R |
| - | |
| Let all come then | X |
| And now swells he | T |
| Lordlier still yea e'en a people | E |
| Bears his regal flood on high | Y |
| And in triumph onward rolling | K |
| Names to countries gives he cities | R |
| Spring to light beneath his foot | Z |
| - | |
| Ever ever on he rushes | R |
| Leaves the towers' flame tipp'd summits | R |
| Marble palaces the offspring | K |
| Of his fullness far behind | A2 |
| - | |
| Cedar houses bears the Atlas | R |
| On his giant shoulders flutt'ring | K |
| In the breeze far far above him | O |
| Thousand flags are gaily floating | K |
| Bearing witness to his might | B |
| - | |
| And so beareth he his brethren | J |
| All his treasures all his children | J |
| Wildly shouting to the bosom | B2 |
| Of his long expectant sire | V |
