O Calpe! dir donnerts am Fusse, 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!
