When the cliffs are resounding in thunder around!

Thee feareth the fir-tree;

Thou crushest the fir-tree

From its root to its crown.

The cliffs flee before thee;

The cliffs thou engraspest,

And hurlest them, scornful, like pebbles adown.

The sun weaves around thee

The beams of its splendor;

It painteth with hues of the heavenly iris,
