Through the air with magic teeming,

Guide us forward, guide us fairly,

Thanks to thee be rendered rarely;

Guide us quick, and guide us sure,

O’er the wide waste Brocken moor.

Trees on trees thick massed before us

Flit, and fling dark shadows o’er us,

Cliffs on cliffs in rugged masses

Nod above the narrow passes,

And each rock from jagged nose,
