Because deep down I glorified and gave the earth my trust,
\nAnd never spread my secret wings to flee,
\nBut rooted deep in silence my soul unstintingly,
\nTill the fresh waters once again came surging for my thirst,
\nA spring of life, a dancing spring, my spring of ecstasy;<\/p>\n
Because I never gave a thought to When and How at all,
\nBut steeped in each last hour my thoughtfulness,
\nAs if it held within it the immeasurable goal \u2013
\nNo matter then, if summer smiles, or round me roars the gale:
\nThe moment dreams inside me like an apple round and full,
\nAnd heights of heaven shower me with fruitfulness.<\/p>\n
Because I never said: – Here life begins and here it ceases,
\nBut: – If there comes a rainy day, the light will be the richer,
\nEven the earthquake roots the house more firm and deep than ever,
\nFor hidden deep in earth it drives the life-creating tremor, –
\nBehold! how the ephemeral dissolves among the breezes,
\nAnd Death himself, the mighty one, Death has become my brother.<\/p>\n
