Ossians Lied nach dem Falle Nathos

(Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch) after the English

Our translations: CAT DUT FRE

Beugt euch aus euren Wolken nieder,
ihr Geister meiner Väter, beuget euch,
legt ab das rothe Schrecken eures Laufs.
Empfangt den fallenden Führer!
Er komme aus einem entfernten Land,
oder er steig aus dem tobenden Meer!
Sein Kleid von Nebel sey nah,
sein Speer aus einer Wolke gestaltet.
Sein Schwert ein erlosch'nes Luftbild,
Und ach sein Gesicht sey lieblich,
Daß seine Freunde frolocken in seiner Gegenwart!
O beugt euch aus euren Wolken nieder!
ihr Geister meiner Väter, beuget euch.

Composition:

Franz Peter Schubert
