I feel my own force, bearing fruit
And gaining strength to give me to the world.
My inmost being I feel charged with power
To turn with clearer insight
Toward the weaving of life's destiny.
English translation by Ruth and Hans Pusch
Ich fühle fruchtend eigne Kraft
Sich stärkend mich der Welt verleihn;
Mein Eigenwesen fühl ich kraftend
Zur Klarheit sich zu wenden
Im Lebensschicksalsweben.
The Year Participated translation by Owen Barfield
Risen from separate me
I feel my self-expression fit,
as cosmic revelation,
with sturdy goings on in time and space;
the world before me overall
as my divine Original
confirms as true this Copy made from it.
