The hallowing of Pain
Language: English
Available translation(s): GER
The hallowing of Pain
Like hallowing of Heaven,
Obtains at a corporeal cost --
The Summit is not given
To Him who strives severe
At middle of the Hill --
But He who has achieved the Top --
All -- is the price of All --

Den Schmerz zu heiligen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the English
Den Schmerz zu heiligen,
gleich wie den Himmel,
erzielt man durch des Körpers Haft:
Den Gipfel der nicht schafft,
welcher auf halbem Weg
am Hang sich plagt.
Nur wer nach oben sich gequält,
dann alles hat und - gab.
