Ja błąkam się wszędzie, Ja wszędzie się wdzieram, Gdzie światów krawędzie, Gdzie aniołów pienie, I dla ciebie zbieram Kształtów roje, O dziecię moje! Myśli i natchnienie. I od duchów wyższych, I od duchów niższych Farby i odcienie, Dźwięki i promienie Zbieram dla ciebie, Byś ty, o synku mój, Był, jako są w niebie, I ojciec twój Kochał ciebie. Ja napoję Usta twoje Dźwiękiem i potęgą, Czoło przyozdobię Jasności wstęgą I matki miłością Obudzę w tobie Wszystko, co ludzie na ziemi, anieli w niebie Nazwali pięknością – By ojciec twój, O synku mój, Kochał ciebie.

I wander everywhere, I enter everywhere, In the confines of the worlds, Where there are angels' songs: I gather up for thee The throngs of countless forms, Thoughts and inspired words, Oh, little child of mine! And from the highest souls, And from the lowest souls, Colours and shadowings, Sweet sounds and rays of light, I gather up for thee, That thou, my little son, Shalt be like those in heaven, And by thy father loved. I'll give thy lips to drink Of sound and power, I will adorn thy brow With ribbons of bright light. And with a mother's love I'll wake in thee All that is beauty called By angels in heaven and man on earth, So that thy father may Love thee, my little son.
