In my crystal water-palace;

Lodged them well so that they never

Longed for man, nor for returning.

"Have no fear, I know what love is.

I myself feel something tightening

Round my heart, when I the Schwarzwald's

Mountains greet, and jump rejoicing

O'er Schaffhausen's precipices,

Force my way with courage, rushing

Through the straits of Laufenburg.
