2.
Es leben Menschen, aber viele weinen.
Und Mauern stehn, doch viele stürzen ein.
Und hohe Sterne fahrn in schrillen Scheinen:
Und jeder Weg ist brennend und allein.
Die Lampen fallen um im Nacht-Gemach.
Gezackte Schatten hasten an der Wand.
Zerschellte Welten schlagen unser Dach:
Das Haus zerreißet unsres Blutes Brand. [i]

2.
Though people live, many are crying.
And stonework stands, but to collapse is prone.
And shrill stars emit cold light the skies plying:
The arteries cauterized and alone.
The night-chamber lamps tumble down instead.
Jagged shadows creep over the walls first.
Beshattered planets crash our roof overhead:
The house rips apart our blood’s raging thirst.
Rudolf Steiner Geotheanum II (1928)
