Soul of sorrow, why this weeping?
1
What immortal grief hath touched thee
With the poignancy of sadness,—
Have the high gods deigned to show thee
5
Fills thy heart at all things human,
Nay, the gods themselves are fettered
9
By one law which links together
Truth and nobleness and beauty,
And they only shall find freedom
13
Who with courage rise and follow
Where love leads beyond all peril,
