Geist In Lebensfluthen, im Thatensturm Wall' ich auf und ab, Webe hin und her! Geburt und Grab, Ein [ewiges]1 Meer, Ein wechselnd Weben, Ein glühend Leben, So schaff' ich am sausenden Webstuhl der Zeit, Und wirke der Gottheit lebendiges Kleid. [Faust Der du die weite Welt unschweifst, Geschäftiger Geist, wie nah fühl' ich mich dir!]2 [Geist Du gleichst dem Geist, den du begreifst, Nicht mir!]3

(Spirito) Della vita fra i flutti, fra tumulto di eventi Ondeggio su e giù qua e là mi agito! Nascita e tomba, onda eterna di mare, un vibrare mutevole, un vivere ardente, così, intento al sibilante arcolaio del tempo, intesso al divino una veste vivente.
