68. O Imagination!

Imagination, O Imagination!

You are my life's adoration.

You I shall not keep afar.

Imagination, O Imagination!

In false, binding lies I shall not cry;

I shall not welcome the life of impurity's ugliness.

With paltry victory I shall not smile and rejoice.

Imagination, O imagination!

To death's call I shall not respond.

The soul am I; no death have I.

No more, never, shall I walk along the wrong path.

Imagination, O imagination!
