Verse 48

Within the light that out of world-wide heights
Would stream with power toward the soul,
May certainty of cosmic thinking
Arise to solve the soul’s enigmas —
And focusing its mighty rays,
Awaken love in human hearts.

(Translated from German by Ruth and Hans Pusch)

Rudolf Steiner’s original verse in German:

Im Lichte, das aus Weltenhöhen
Der Seele machtvoll fliessen will,
Erscheine, lösend Seelenrätsel,
Des Weltendenkens Sicherheit,
Versammelnd seiner Strahlen Macht,
Im Menschenherzen Liebe weckend.
