And while throughout the self same motion Repeated on forever flows The thousandfold o er arching ocean Its strong embrace around all throws Streams through all things the joy of living The least star thrilleth fond accord And all their crowding all their striving Is endless rest in God the Lord. - - -GER:Wenn im Unendlichen dasselbeSich wiederholend ewig fliet,Das tausendfltige GewlbeSich krftig ineinander schliet,Strmt Lebenslust aus allen Dingen,Dem kleinsten wie dem grten SternUnd alles Drngen, alles RingenIst ewige Ruh in Gott dem Herrn.Zahme Xenien VI.
