Now well up out of my soul
Othmar Schoeck
Now well up out of my soul evermore
you mighty, wild splash of images.
If I cannot hold you back with strong, jubilant shouts,
I'll bind you, Stream, with a simple charm.
Let all the waves disappear and the clear flood
spread out toward the peaceful ocean,
in which the world and the blue expanse of heaven
glimmer silently, transfigured and unvarying.
