Of these same words: O man, feel thou thyself.
(From rocks and springs resounds: ‘O man, feel thou thyself!’)
From heights of light a being shines on me,
And I feel wings to lift myself to him:
I too will free myself, like all those souls,
Who conquered self.
(From springs and rocks resounds: ‘O man, feel thou thyself.’)
Who conquered self. That being do I see
Whom I would fain be like in future times.
