Who draws the senses so magnificently > Into the blue of heaven, granite hieroglyphics > of the soul's upsurge from the narrowness of life? > Who finally ties the strands > of the searching thought to the stars > so boldly and strives and fights on all paths? > Who is led so high, so deep by his urge, his foreboding? > Who grasps the near and the far so faithfully? > Where are all the zones of earth and heaven > reflected as in your thinking, O Teuton?
