I’ll loose my inmost being from the Earth,

Condensing all my powers within my soul,

And so await whate’er may be revealed

To indicate my way through spirit-space.

And then when I return to life on Earth

’Twill be a thought which, when recalled will shine

As knowledge in mine inmost depths of soul.

Benedictus (appears from the background):

Win thou thyself in power of cosmic thought,

Lose thou thyself in life of cosmic force;
