Salvation



Close, here where it’s worm,
Come, you too over me,
Do cover me,
With thrilling heart.



Come down here, where the clay is,
Moulded by you,
Give me hope,
Oh, Great One! That I will last.



Help the child in me,
Feed him at your breast,
With ambrosia,
And make him dream!



Give him gems of thoughts,
And necklesses of kindness!
Lend him buds of power,
That will come into leaf soon.



Make him perceive the pain,
To climb another step,
Higher on the infinity staicase,
Between the steam of salvation.



Make him stay a drop of eternity,
On the green fields of heaven,
So that he can come down again,
On the blue Earth.
