> “Die Sonne tönt nach alter Weise In Bruderspharen Wettgesang, Und ihre vorgeschriebene Reise Vollendet sie mit Donnergang. Ihr Anblick gibt den Engeln Stärke, Wenn keiner sie ergründen mag; Die unbegreiflich hohen Werke Sind herrlich, wie am ersten Tag.” > “The sun, with many a sister-sphere, > Still sings the rival psalm of wonder, > And still his fore-ordained career > Accomplishes with tread of thunder. > The sight sustains the angels' prime, > Though none may spell the mystic story; > Thy Works, unspeakably sublime, > Live on, in all their primal glory.” > (Translation after Latham)
