Raphael! enraptured, resting on your arm,

I venture, joyful, the march towards perfection,

That leadeth to the spiritual sun.

Happy! happy! I have found thee,

Have secured thee ’midst millions,

And of all this multitude thou art mine!

Let the wild chaos return;

Let it cast adrift the atoms!

Forever our hearts fly to meet each other.

Must I not draw reflections of my ecstasy
