La elipse de un grito, va de monte a monte. Desde los olivos, será un arco iris negro sobre la noche azul. ¡Ay! Como un arco de viola, el grito ha hecho vibrar largas cuerdas del viento. ¡Ay! (Las gentes de las cuevas asoman sus velones.) ¡Ay!

Ein Schrei zieht in in ovalem Bogen von Berg zu Berg. Er steigt empor aus den Oliven und wird zum schwarzen Regenbogen über azurner Nacht. Ach! Wie der Bratschenbogen lässt der Schrei des Windes lange Saiten klingen. Ach! (Aus den Höhlen halten Leute Öllampen heraus) Ach!
