Fels auf Felsen hingewälzet, Fester Grund und treuer Halt; Wasserfälle, Windesschauer, Unbegriffene Gewalt - [Einsam auf Gebirges Zinne Kloster- wie auch Burg-Ruine:]1 Grab' sie der Erinn'rung ein! Denn der Dichter lebt vom Seyn. Athme du den heil'gen Aether, Schling' die Arme um die Welt; [Und]2 dem Würdigen, dem Großen Bleibe muthig zugesellt. Laß die Leidenschaften sausen Im metallenen Accord; Wenn die starken Stürme brausen, Findest du das rechte Wort.

Aus dessen Nachlasse mit Biographie und Vorwort herausgegeben von Ernst Freih. v. Feuchtersleben. Wien, 1843. Verlag von Ignaz Klang, Buchhändler, page 44.
Note: Schubert received Mayrhofer's texts in handwriting; the manuscripts of his cycle Heliopolis, dedicated to Franz von Schober, are preserved in the Vienna City Library. The printed edition of Mayrhofer's poems appeared much later and presents the texts in a revised version. This poem (originally no. 12 of the cycle) is not part of the cycle in the printed edition of 1843. Here it is no. 2 of the cycle An Franz.

Roccia su roccia ammassata, solido terreno e sostegno sicuro; Cascate d'acqua, raffiche di vento, incontenibile potenza. Solitari, sulla cima del monte, un chiostro e un castello in rovina, nella memoria fissali bene! Di ciò che esiste vive il poeta. Respira l'etere santo, Cingi in un abbraccio il mondo, di chi è grande, di chi è degno sii coraggioso compagno. Lascia che le passioni rimbombino con accordi dal metallico suono, quando forte infurierà la tempesta, troverai la parola giusta.
