Einheit

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT

Einheit ewigen Lichts zu spalten,
Müssen wir für törig halten,
Wenn euch Irrtum schon genügt.
Hell und Dunkel, Licht und Schatten,
Weiß man klüglich sie zu gatten,
Ist das Farbenreich besiegt.

Unitat

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

Fraccionar la unitat de la llum eterna
ho hem de tenir per una estupidesa,
si és que per un error en tenim prou.
Si claror i foscúria, llum i ombres,
hom sap sàviament unificar,
ha conquerit el reialme dels colors.
