Death proclaims

Death proclaims

I was born in Inconscience and go by it alone,

To devour all that springs up against its might;

The stream of time sinks into my hollow depths,

And the sounds fade away in muteness of gulfs;

There the suns shine not and starless is the night,

And vanishes hope of lonely ray in the nought;

I turn good into evil and make gold dark asphalt,

Shaper of life striking her on the black anvil.

Once more a Thought, a Word in the void arose

And Death made answer to the human soul:… ||137.99||

Wilt thou claim immortality, O heart,

Crying against the eternal witnesses

That thou and he are endless powers and last? ||137.102||

Death only lasts and the inconscient Void…. ||137.103||

All from my depths are born, they live by death;

All to my depths return and are no more…. ||137.107||

I, Death, am the one refuge of thy soul. ||137.112||
