Twenty-sixth Week
O Nature, your maternal life
I bear within the essence of my will.
And my will's fiery energy
Shall steel my spirit striving,
That sense of self springs forth from it
To hold me in myself.
English translation by Ruth and Hans Pusch
=====
Natur, dein mütterliches Sein,
Ich trage es in meinem Willenswesen;
Und meines Willens Feuermacht,
Sie stählet meines Geistes Triebe,
Dass sie gebären Selbstgefühl,
Zu tragen mich in mir.
The Year Participated translation by Owen Barfield
=====
O Mother Nature, thee I bear
within me as the substance of my will,
my fiery will that tempers as to steel
the promptings of my spirit, till they be
mine, and I bear abroad Myself in me.

Keep a joyful spirit
