-----------------  (Lyrics: Sundin)   Beautiful, oh web of stars  that looms amid the sons of Earth  Enfolds me in thine sylvan arms  that unity's vehement charms  befalls a weary son of Earth   Beautiful, in tears bereaved  in sylphlike sadness, left to bleed  Bewailed upon a bed of thorns,  impaled, a heart, on sorrow's horns  A seeker's ode to thee I read  My tearful soul thy mourning heed   The stream that leaves thine open wounds;  A life-blood licked by hungry hounds  No verdant balm to soothe our wounds  Wherefore betwixt two worlds I'm torn  Ere thralled by sin I'll die - forlorn   This slumbering world of shallow fools  may one day clasp the cosmic Hell  lest journeymen by Earthen rules  bring forth the truth for which Angels fell   To the earth and sky and sea  I call that thou may answer me;  Father of Nature, of beast and mankind,  my soul for thy love, my tears for thy pain  ...An Eden in fire,  what lives shan't remain   For when I live under a different sky,  beneath the ethereal hills the clouds passing by  Remember the time of which I cried to be part  Remember these words, for they have flown  from my heart.
