What are we?⁠—what not?⁠—things in one day ending! + 

Man is a dream through shadows dimly seen. + 

But when a glory shines from God descending + 

Then rests on men a sunbright splendour-sheen + 

And life serene. + 

Speed thou, Aegina, mother love-adored, + 

This city on her voyage of freedom onward! + 

May Zeus’ and Aiakus’ blessing lift her sunward, + 

Peleus, Achilles, valiant Telamon ward! + 
