And live the mirth and sorrow of the world.
From Astrid’s web shall grow the joy of love;
And sylphs, that live in air, shall then incite
The soul’s desire to willing sacrifice;
That thus the consecrated one may give
New life to sorrow-laden souls of men,
And comfort those who crave for happiness.
From Luna’s power shall stream forth solid strength;
And salamanders with their fiery breath
Shall then create security of soul;
