The Grossglockner in a new light.

6. In the pure clean land, / Where the pure air blows, / Where in loving union, / Brothers walk in one accord, / There also rise above the clouds, / Friendly gloomy, noble witnesses, / Who even bear great burdens, / Sacrifices too, that ascend on high!

7. Among these many witnesses, / Who adorn this little country, / Shows in quiet - noble silence, / Clearly still the great confusion. / Many know this witness, / Far and wide he is discussed, / Still, how many allude to him, / Not much is sensed (up) here!

8. How he is crevassed, jagged, / And how high he rises, / How he is at his feet, / How much snow and ice he carries, -/ Such is not discussed here, / But what the giant says, / Is briefly here revealed. / And so, know, who is asking:

9. Of what benefit are such heights? - / Such heights must be frequently used: / When angry spirits blow / And in conflict over-heat / Threaten your earth' with fire, / Craving to destroy it all / Yes, in fierceness fire-flame. / Already many a grass is charred, -

10. See, the high sentry reaches out / Far round himself with a thousand arms / All the deceitful types / Firm and cold without any mercy / So "by the collar", as you would say/ Pulling them from all sides, / Then no one dares to move, / None, continues to enlarge!

11. Has he drawn them to himself, / All the wicked trouble-makers, / Those who repeatedly lied to the earth, / They, the madman of the earth, / Apprehended here at once / By the hordes of peaceful spirits / And on the iron honed dull, / Blunt for the lust for distant murder.

12. Now transformed into snow and ice / Lying there in trillions / Already outdated as towering ornaments gray and aged / On the cold sovereign thrones. / See the Glockner's useful reign, / See, how he serves for order, / Hence his rough appearance, / That is why he towers high!

13. Only created for this purpose / Has he truly not become, / To justly punish at all times / Wicked spirits of peace-less hordes! / All that is still in him, / All that he still does, / Will be hatched as a whole / And clarified in a beneficial way! Amen.
