Durch allen Schall und Klang
Der Transoxanen
Erkühnt sich unser Sang
Auf deine Bahnen!
Und ist für gar nichts bang,
In dir lebendig;
Dein Leben daure lang,
Dein Reich beständig.

Note on score: "Romain Rolland, dem großen Dichter und hochverehrten Freunde, dem heroischen Kämpfer gegen alle ruchlosen an Europas Untergang arbeitenden Mächte, mit dem Ausdruck treuester Sympathie und aufrichtigster Bewunderung." - Richard Strauss (1926).
Note: In order to praise Prince Carl August von Sachsen-Weimar, the poem sets a parallel between him and Sedschan, who was the patron of the poet Hafis.
