Doch blickt dein tausendjÄhriger
Gipfel Ruhig auf Welten umher.
Siehe dort wÖlkt es sich auf
Ueber die westlichen Wogen her,
WÖlket sich breiter und ahnender auf,—
Es flattert, O Calpe! Segelgewolk!
FlÜgel der HÜlfe! Wie prachtig
Wallet die Fahne Brittaniens
Deiner getreuen Verheisserin!
Calpe! Sie walltl Aber die Nacht sinkt,
Sie deckt mit ihren schwÀrzesten,
Unholdesten Rabenfittigen Gebirge,
FlÀchen, Meer und Bucht Und Klippen, wo der bleiche
Tod Des Schiffers, Kiele spaltend, sitzt.
Hinan!
