So lang' im deutschen Eichenthale, Natur! dein hehrer Schauer webt, Und, bei des Mondes Geisterstrale, Der Adler Wodans mich umschwebt; So lang' in der Erwählten Blicken Mir tausend Himmel offen stehn, Und, mit [vergötterndem]1 Entzücken, [Wir Arm in Arm durchs Leben gehn]2; So lang', in wackrer Brüder Kreise, Der Bundeskelch zur Weihe klingt, Und jeder, nach der Ahnherrn Weise, In Tells und Hermanns Jubel singt: Will ich den Gram den Winden geben, Selbst Augenblicken Kränze weihn, Und noch, wo Todesengel schweben, Den Pfad mit Rosen mir bestreun!

Mentre a les valls alemanyes de rouredes, natura! es bellugui el teu sublim tremolor i, als raigs fantasmagòrics de la lluna l’àguila de Wodan voli al meu entorn; mentre als esguards dels elegits em restin mil cels oberts i, amb adorable encís, anem per la vida agafats del braç; mentre en els dignes cercles de germanor, el calze de l’aliança soni per a la benedicció, i tots, a la manera dels avantpassats cantin en la joia de Tell i Hermann: vull foragitar la tristor, àdhuc consagrar garlandes als instants i encara, on voleien àngels de la mort, sembrar de roses el meu camí.
