Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT CHI ENG FRE
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!
