In Steyermark—old Steyermark,

The mountain summits are white and stark;

The rough winds furrow their trackless snow,

But the mirrors of crystal are smooth below;

The stormy Danube clasps the wave

That downward sweeps with the Drave and Save,

And the Euxine is whitened with many a bark,

Freighted with ores of Steyermark.

In Steyermark—rough Steyermark,

The anvils ring from dawn till dark;
