Verse 19

 

In secret to encompass now
With memory what I’ve newly got
Shall be my striving’s further aim:
Thus, ever strengthening, selfhood’s forces
Shall be awakened from within
And growing, give me to myself.

(Translated from German by Ruth and Hans Pusch)

Rudolf Steiner’s original verse in German:

Geheimnisvoll das Neu-Empfang’ne
Mit der Erinnerung zu umschliessen,
Sei meines Strebens weitrer Sinn:
Er soll erstarkend Eigenkräfte
In meinem Innern wecken
Und werdend mich mir selber geben.
