I’ll bring thee treasure that will light for thee
The dark seclusion of the shadow-realms.
But thou wilt not be fully freed till he
Can once again unite himself with thee.
This act he can delay … but not prevent.
For Lucifer will well protect his rights.
Theodora:
Thou spirit-child, thou liv’st Johannes’ youth
In gloomy shadow-realms. To thee in love
Bends down the soul which o’er Johannes broods
