Treib
ihn von dir in unsern Arm,
Daß
er von deinem Hauch noch warm;
In
schweren Wolken sammle ihn
Und
laß ihn so hernieder ziehn.
In
kühlen Strömen send ihn her,
In
Feuerflammen lodre er,
In
Luft und Öl, in Klang und Tau
Durchdring
er unsrer Erde Bau.
Send him forth from you into our arms,
While he is still warmed by your breath.
Collect him in the heavy clouds
And let him come down like this.
In cooling streams, send him here,
He, in flames of fire,
In air and oil, in sound and dew,
Penetrating our earthly abode.
--from Novalis, Geistliche Lieder, XII
