"Hutan purba! perawan perawan! Saxon itu belum menggairahkan, Lo! puncak demi puncak di tangga set- Di tangga melangkah yang mencapai Tuhan! Di sini kita bebas seperti laut atau angin, karena di sini diatur tenda bersalju Waktu dalam benteng abadi melawan pawai pikiran Saxon."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Primeval forests! virgin sod! That Saxon has not ravish'd yet, Lo! peak on peak in stairways set- In stepping stairs that reach to God! Here we are free as sea or wind, For here are set Time's snowy tents In everlasting battlements Against the march of Saxon mind.
