by Adolf Lucas Bacmeister (1827 - 1873)

Dort wo der Gibelline
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dort wo der Gibelline
Durch Fichtenwälder schweift, 
Mit ernster, strenger Miene 
Nach Schwert und Lanze greift;  

Wenn tief aus dem Geklüfte 
Der Welfe schweigend tritt, 
Wenn von dem Fels der Lüfte 
Der Welf herunter schritt:  

Dorthin will meine Seele, 
Nach dorten schlägt mein Herz, 
Nach Felsgeklüft und Höhle, 
Nach Todesfahr und Erz!  

Umsonst!  Bologna's Thürme 
Sind Zeugen meiner Haft; 
In feuchte Sehnsuchtsstürme 
Verweht die alte Kraft.
