You could try selecting the text() that only has one preceding h1 sibling...

//div[@class='text']/text()[count(preceding-sibling::h1)=1]

Another alternative is to try using the Kayessian method...

//div[@class='text']/h1[1]/following-sibling::text()[count(.|//div[@class='text']/h1[1+1]/preceding-sibling::text()) = count(//div[@class='text']/h1[1+1]/preceding-sibling::text())]

Here's a better example and explanation of the Kayessian method.
