You great star
What would your happiness be
had you not those for
whom you shine
For many years have you
climbed here to my cave
you would have wearied
of your light and of the journey
had it not been for me
my eagle and my serpent
But we waited for you
every morning took from you
your overflow
and blessed you for it
Behold
I am weary of my wisdom
like the bee that has gathered
too much honey
I need hands outstretched to take it
I would rather give away and
distribute until the wise among
men once more find joy in their
folly and the poor in their riches
Therefore must I descend
into the deep as you do in the
evening when you go behind the
sea and give light also to the
underworld you exuberant star
Like you I have to go down
as men say
to whom I shall descend
Bless me then your tranquil eye
that can look on even the
greatest happiness without envy
Bless the cup that is about to
overflow that the water may
flow golden from it
and carry everywhere
the reflection of your happiness
Behold
This cup is again going to
empty itself and I am going
to be a man again
