Within the light that out of spirit depths
Weaves germinating power into space
And manifests the gods' creative work:
Within its shine, the soul's true being
Is widened into worldwide life
And resurrected
From narrow selfhood's inner power.

Im Lichte, das aus Geistestiefen
Im Raume fruchtbar webend
Der Götter Schaffen offenbart:
In ihm erscheint der Seele Wesen
Geweitet zu dem Weltensein
Und auferstanden
Aus enger Selbstheit Innenmacht.

The Year Participated translation
by Owen Barfield
|
Within the light whose birth from spirit-depths
and fruitful weaving thorough space
reveal the gods' creating loom
soul's true existence is made manifest;
the Being of the World becomes her room,
from cramping selfhood's narrow tyranny
risen as from a tomb.
