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
