by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Translation by Bernardino Zendrini (1839 - 1879)
Auf diesem Felsen bauen wir
Language: German (Deutsch)
Auf diesem Felsen bauen wir Die Kirche von dem dritten, Dem dritten neuen Testament; Das Leid ist ausgelitten. Vernichtet ist das Zweierlei, Das uns so lang betöret; Die dumme Leiberquälerei Hat endlich aufgehöret. Hörst du den Gott im finstern Meer? Mit tausend Stimmen spricht er. Und siehst du über unserm Haupt Die tausend Gotteslichter? Der heilge Gott der ist im Licht Wie in den Finsternissen; Und Gott ist alles was da ist; Er ist in unsern Küssen.

Panteismo
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Qua su quest'ermo scoglio D'un nuovo Testamento Edifichiamo il tempio: ha fine ogni tormento. Il dualismo è polvere Che ha tutti istupititi; tutti: gl'insensati martirii son, lode a Dio, finiti. L'odi, il Dio nell'oceano Parlar mille favelle? Vedi lassù risplendere Le mille sue facelle? Dio nella luce folgora, l'han le tenebre in sé. È Dio, è Dio ciò che ne attornia: nei nostri baci, Egli è.
