There dwells a life in every star;With brother spheres it rolls afarIts self-elected, radiant way.Still throb within the great earth-ballThe forces which conduct us allFrom day to night, from night to day. - - - GER:Das Leben wohnt in jedem Sterne:Er wandelt mit den andern gerneDie selbsterwählte reine Bahn;Im innern Erdenball pulsierenDie Kräfte, die zur Nacht uns führenUnd wieder zu dem Tag heran.Zahme Xenien VI.
