Available translation(s): ENG
Aus tiefem Dunkel-Schlummer aufzufliehn,
oh hell erwacht,
einen glänzenden Strom entlang zu ziehn
mit Glut und Macht,
durch ungeheure Weiten,
die Seele rein nur Glanz, oh so zu schreiten
über schwarze Flächen
hinauf zu glänzenden Gebirgbächen,
die von dem Großen Allergrößten sprechen,
durch ungeheure Nacht --
oh hell erwacht.

To flee forth from deep dark‑slumber
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
To flee forth from deep dark-slumber,
oh brightly wakened,
to travel along a radiant river
with fervour and might,
through tremendous vastnesses,
the soul nothing but pure lustre, oh to stride so
over black flatlands
up to shining mountain streams,
which speak of the Great, the All-great One,
through tremendous night --
oh brightly wakened.
