Within Eternity (Ein Traum)

A dream, a dream is our being
of mortal clay,
like shadows on the road we're fleeing
and fade away.

We measure progress by the ride of
an hours' strife,
and live - and know not - right inside of
eternal life...

poem by Johann Gottfried von Herder, translated by Walter Aue
