A circle of tiny, graceful spirits hovers round him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eARIEL (Chanting, accompanied by Aeolian Harps.) When the springtime blossoms, falling,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShower down, and cover all things,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the fields with greener blessing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDazzle all the world of earthlings, Little elves, but great in spirit, Haste to help, where help they can, And, be he holy, be he wicked, Pity they the luckless man.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou, hovering in airy circles, round his head Show yourselves in proud elf-form, instead, Calm all the fierce resistance of his heart, Remove the bitter barbs of sharp remorse,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree him from past terrors, by your art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour are the watches night makes in its course, At once, now, mercifully, let the dark depart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLet his head sink down on pillow¿s coolness, Next sprinkle him with dew from Lethe¿s stream: Then let his joints be free of cramps and stiffness, So that he¿s strong enough to greet day¿s gleam: Elves exert your sweetest right,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturn him to the holy light!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHOIR (Singly, and two or more, alternately and together.)

The hours have vanished now, already Joy and pain have flown away,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou are whole! Recover, wholly: Trust the sight of breaking day. Greening valleys, swelling hills there, Rise from out their shadowy sleep: And, drifting in its waves of silver, On to harvest, flows the wheat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWish then, to achieve your wishes, Gaze up, at the brightness there! You are lightly tangled: this is Sleep, a shell, so now emerge! Don¿t delay, walk bravely, tall, When the crowd waits, hesitating: The noblest man achieves his all, By seeing, and then, swiftly, taking.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9791041946235\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePart II\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9791041946235","offer_id":46354586403141,"sku":"9791041946235","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/30d9844c-c5ba-4647-b7f1-e519d04d676b.jpg?v=1747632275","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/faust-von-johann-wolfgang-goethe-2","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
