Rise like the morning air and learn to blow again; tulip and rose are fair; play gently with their train, deep in the rosebud’s heart learn how to stab thy dart.

Though ermine wraps thy breast, thou tremblest listlessly; this way thou shiverest, will nothing profit thee; in the assembly learn with love to shake and burn.

Faithless! Thy heart astray, once more upon Him bind; break from all else away, nor unto Self be blind: Learn with thy eyes to view, and how to close them, too.

No falcon’s heart of rage we have, no eagle’s eye; like home birds in a cage we lack the joy to fly; home birds encaged! Arise and soar into the skies.

Darius’ royal throne men sell not by the way; that mighty mount of stone they barter not for hay: Learn with thy own heart’s blood to purchase thee this good.

Thou weep’st; yet Destiny, unchanging doth abide; the chain that circleth thee was aye as firmly tied: Despair not, but anew learn how to weep for rue.

Art thou consumed? Take flame out of thy heart’s desire and wrap thee in the same and set the reeds afire; along the stubble learn to run a torch, and burn!
