The Soul's Awakening: Scene 10

Johannes, wouldst thou tear thy spirit-shade From out the magic kingdoms of the soul; Live then the aims that it will show to thee; The path on which thou seek'st will guide thy steps, But thou must first discover it aright. The woman near the temple shows it thee If she lives powerfully within thy thought. Spellbound amongst shade-spirits doth she strive To draw nigh to that other shade who now Through thee loth evil service to grim shades.
