The spirit in me shall grow free, through thee
Sublime example, I will follow thee.
(Enter Maria)
Johannes:
The spirit-beings, who did take me up,
Have woken now the vision of my soul.
And as I gaze into the spirit worlds,
I feel in mine own self the quickening power
Of these same words: O man, feel thou thyself.
(From springs and rocks resounds: ‘O man, feel thou thyself!’)
