Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEAF GAHAIJKL MANOPQRS TUOAAVIA WXMAAYFA ZA2B2B2YB2AA| The rejected word 'peace' | A |
| At the beginning of an outraged era | B |
| A church lamp in a grotto | C |
| And the air of mountain lands | A |
| An ether we did not want to | D |
| Or would not breathe | E |
| Again with a goat voice | A |
| The shaggy reed pipes sing | F |
| - | |
| While sheep and oxen grazed | G |
| On fertile pastures | A |
| And friendly eagles perched | H |
| On the shoulders of sleepy crags | A |
| A German reared an eagle | I |
| A lion submitted to a Briton | J |
| And a Gallic comb appeared | K |
| From a rooster's crest | L |
| - | |
| But now the savage has captured | M |
| The sacred mace of Heracles | A |
| The black earth has dried up | N |
| Ungrateful as before | O |
| I will get the withered wand | P |
| And draw the fire from it | Q |
| Let the startled beasts go away | R |
| With me into the deaf night | S |
| - | |
| The cock the lion the dark brown | T |
| Eagle the affectionate bear | U |
| We shall build a chamber for war | O |
| And warm the wild beasts' hides | A |
| But I sing the wine of the times | A |
| The font of Italic speech | V |
| And in a Great Aryan cradle | I |
| Slavonic and Germanic flax | A |
| - | |
| Italy is it really worth | W |
| Disturbing the chariots of Rome | X |
| For the clucking of a domestic bird | M |
| Flying across your fence | A |
| And you neighbor don't seek damages | A |
| The eagle bristles in anger | Y |
| What if for your sling | F |
| A heavy stone is of no use | A |
| - | |
| While the beasts are in the menagerie | Z |
| We will settle down a while | A2 |
| The Volga stays at high tide | B2 |
| The Rhine's current grows brighte | B2 |
| The wise man will unwillingly honor | Y |
| A foreigner as a demigod | B2 |
| With the revelry of a dance | A |
| On the shores of great rivers | A |
