 ... 

Mit silbernen Sohlen stieg ich die dornigen 
Stufen hinab, und ich trat ins kalkgetünchte Gemach. 
Stille brannte ein Leuchter darin und ich verbarg 
in purpurnen Linnen schweigend das Haupt; und es 
warf die Erde einen kindlichen Leichnam aus, ein 
mondenes Gebilde, das langsam aus meinem Schatten 
trat, mit zerbrochenen Armen steinerne Stürze 
hinabsank, flockiger Schnee.
