Geist
 In Lebensfluthen, im Thatensturm
 Wall' ich auf und ab,
 Webe hin und her!
 Geburt und Grab,
 Ein ewiges 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!

Canto degli spiriti della terra

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Röntgen)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

(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.

Note: this is a translation for Röntgen's setting.
