Heiliger Himmel
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Sommerträume ihr, purpurne Abende ...
Odins waltender Speer
Teilt die Wolkenbahn, und ein letzter
Goldblitz flammt durch Luft und Land.
Asgards heilige Hallen krönen den Himmel
Blühende Götter wandeln in seliger Jugend
Über die funkelnden Gefilde des Lichts.
Sommertraüme ihr: purpurne Abende.

The holy firmament
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
You summer dreams, amethyst evenings…
Odin, wielding his spear,
Cleaving the clouds, and a final
Bolt of gold flaming through sky and land.
Asgard’s holy halls surmount the heavens
And luminous gods wander in blessed youth
About the sparkling fields of light.
You summer dreams, amethyst evenings…
