Thirty-seventh Week
WINTER
To carry spirit light into world-winter-night My heart is ardently impelled, That shining seeds of soul Take root in grounds of worlds And Word Divine through senses' darkness Resounds, transfiguring all life.
English translation
by Ruth and Hans Pusch
Zu tragen Geisteslicht in Weltenwinternacht Erstrebet selig meines Herzens Trieb, Dass leuchtend Seelenkeime In Weltengründen wurzeln, Und Gotteswort im Sinnesdunkel Verklärend alles Sein durchtönt.
The Year Participated translation
by Owen Barfield
To be a torch to bear the Spirit's light into the dark night of a wintry world blessing and blest my eager heart aspires; bright shoots of soul sunk in the ground-bed of the world shall be and shining from the sensual dark the Word resound through all Reality.(provided with the kind permission of the Rudolf Steiner Press)
