I was unable to find out the way

Which led to thine exalted sister’s soul

So long as in my heart the warmth of love

From love’s light ever held itself apart.

The sacrifice which to the temple’s shrine

Thou bring’st, shall be repeated in my soul.

Therein the warmth of love shall sacrifice

Itself unto love’s wonder-working light.

Maria:

Johannes, in the realm of spirit-life
