Thus do I work with true creative joy
To build the worlds. Without me none can live,
And naught without my strength can e’er exist.
Johannes:
So thou dost stand before my spirit’s eye,
Joy-giver of all worlds. My spirit’s strength
Doth feel creative joy, when I behold
Thee as the fruit of self-experience.
Within the temple to my spirit’s eye
Once didst thou show thyself, yet at that time
