00:02:56 He never knew, that clever one, what blessing
00:04:23 You call, you draw me close and ever closer.
00:06:34 Too bright for those despairing ones, your light.
00:07:51 With music of their springs, the green woods flow
00:09:13 Not wishing to be far from you for long
00:10:25 With your unstraying eyes, in your sure orbit
00:11:56 It is not right that uninvited here
00:13:27 The ancient Father. There now go, join in
00:14:58 And not for that I was beside you, dear one
00:16:30 To visit and appease those violent ones
00:17:54 - One note the lyre-strings hold— - Then let them sound
00:19:26 And walk the path that God ordained for him.
00:20:56 More lightly and more freely I shall breathe, And as that snow
00:22:23 And question them, my brothers in Egyptos.
00:24:00 Yet if you need a word from me, then hear.
00:25:45 You wish it, and so be it! Yet not unthinking
00:27:39 The gods live near again, as in the past
00:29:26 And marvellously the world's powers and shapes
00:30:57 When brothers fled each other, men hurried past
00:32:28 Now it is done. And nevermore shall I
00:34:07 Up towards Aether extends her fiery arms
00:35:56 Far from it!
