Die ihr den Äther mit seligen Schwingen durchschneidet, Segnende Hände über uns Irrende breitet, Die ihr den Seelen, die weinend ins Dunkel gesunken, Leuchtet mit Augen, die ewige Sonne getrunken -- Gütige Sterne, wie oft, aus den Schatten der Erde, Blick ich auf euch, daß Frieden und Licht in mir werde!
Confirmed with Anna Ritter, Befreiung. Neue Gedichte, Fünfte Auflage, Stuttgart: J.G. Cotta'sche Buchhandlung Nachfolger, 1900, page 249.

Ye who cut through the aether with holy pinions, Who over us erring ones spread your hands in blessing, Who shine upon souls who have sunk, weeping, into darkness, Shine with eyes that have drunk from the eternal sun -- Benevolent stars, how often from out of the shadows of earth Do I look up to you so that I may attain inner peace and light!
