Beugt euch aus [euern]1 Wolken nieder, ihr Geister meiner Väter, [beugt]2 euch, legt ab das rothe Schrecken eures Laufs. Empfangt den fallenden Führer! Er komme aus einem entfernten Land, oder [steig]3 aus dem tobenden Meer! Sein Kleid von Nebel sey nah, sein Speer aus einer Wolke gestaltet. [Stell ein halb erloschenes Luftbild an seine Seite, in Gestalt des Helden-Schwerts.]4 Und ach sein Gesicht sey lieblich, Daß seine Freunde frolocken in seiner Gegenwart! [Beugt]5 euch aus [euern]1 Wolken nieder! ihr Geister meiner Väter, [beugt]2 euch.

Vincleu-vos cap a baix des dels vostres núvols, vosaltres esperits dels meus pares, vincleu-vos, deixeu de banda el roig espant de la vostra ruta. Acolliu el cabdill caigut! Tant si ve d'una terra llunyana com si puja del mar tempestuós! Que la seva vestidura de boira sigui a prop, que la seva espasa es formi d'un núvol. Poseu un meteor mig extingit al seu costat, en la forma de l'espasa de l'heroi. I ai, que el seu rostre sigui amable, que els seus amics s'alegrin de la seva presència! Vincleu-vos cap a baix des dels vostres núvols! Vosaltres, esperits dels meus pares, vincleu-vos.
