In this week Spring gives its foreboding. The clear thinking that we developed in winter time now is becoming benumbed by the starting of growth in nature. With our willpower, however, we can recall our winter-strength and through this even give it the force to behold...
The world is threatening to benumb
The inborn force of my soul;
Now may you appear, remembrance,
Shining out of the spirit depths,
And strengthen my beholding
That can only by willpower
Preserve itself.
Die Welt, sie drohet zu betäuben
Der Seele eingeborene Kraft;
Nun trete du, Erinnerung,
Aus Geistestiefen leuchtend auf
Und stärke mir das Schauen,
Das nur durch Willenskräfte
Sich selbst erhalten kann.
