(KOSEGARTEN.) Hail, mountain of delight, Palace of glory, bless'd by glory's king.
With prospering shade embower me, whilst I sing Thy wonders yet unreached by mortal flight.
Sky-piercing mountain! in thy bowers of love, No tears are seen, save where medicinal stalks Weep drops balsamic o'er the silvered walks.
