On that day when the Great Spirit awakened,

Where once He lay across world-dreaming waters

And thought upon the Word of the Most High;

Therein His Lord spoke this promise to Him:

“Now, I endow You with this thought: ‘Earth,

Go forth and humanely guide men’s lives

So that they may become righteous in the Love

Which you receive from your Father’s house!’”

In the East, the Light of Lights streaked forth—

This Life-tide eternally, endlessly springing.
