Aus Heliopolis II
Language:
German
Fels auf Felsen hingewälzet,
Fester Grund und treuer Halt;
Wasserfälle, Windesschauer,
Unbegriffene Gewalt.
Einsam auf Gebirges Zinne,
Kloster wie auch Burgruine,
Grab' sie der Erinn'rung ein!
Denn der Dichter lebt vom Sein.
Atme du den heil'gen Äther
Schling die Arme um die Welt,
Nur dem Würdigen, dem Großen
Bleibte mutig zugesellt.
Laß die Leidenschaften sausen
Im metallenen Akkord,
Wenn die starken Stürme brausen,
Findest du das rechte Wort.

From Heliopolis II
Language:
English
Rock heaved upon rock,
firm ground and true hold;
Waterfalls, windy shower,
incomprehensible power.
Alone on the pinnacle of a rocky crag,
there is a monastery and a castle ruin.
Engrave them on your memory!
For the poet lives on Existence.
Breathe the sacred ether,
fling your arms around the world -
only the worthy, the great
remain boldly joined.
Let passion roar
in metallic harmony -
when the strong storms bluster,
you will find the right word.
