Marriage of the Soul

The soul of man,

Who has attained the rightful balance,

Becoming aware of this hidden joy,

Straightaway is enamored and bewitched.

And from this mystic marriage are born

The poets’ songs, inner knowledge,

The language of the heart, virtuous living,

And the fair child beauty.

 And the great soul gives to man as dowry

The hidden glory of the world.
