Erwachen aus dem tiefsten traumes-schooße:
Als ich von langer spiegelung betroffen
Mich neigte auf die lippen die erblichen

- Ertragen sollet ihr nur mitleidgroße!
Seid nur aus dank den euch geweihten offen -
Und die berührten dann in solchen gluten 

Die antwort gaben wider höchstes hoffen
Daß dem noch zweifelnden die sinne wichen 
O rinnen der glückseligen minuten!
