Are in the spirit-realms inclined to love,

And to such love can cling as they press through,

As hath been foreordained them by the gods

Before to battle Lucifer came forth.

Standing before his throne my heart hath vowed

With strictest oath, that in Earth’s future times

It would so serve this love that Lucifer,

When he gives knowledge of it to men’s souls

Can do no harm. And those who listen well

For the revealing of this love divine
