FROM THE HEIGHTS<br />

By F. W, Nietzsche<br />

Translated by L. A. Magnus<br />

Midday of Life! Oh, season of delight!<br />

My summer's park!<br />

Uneaseful joy to look,to lurk,to hark: "<br />

I peer for friends, am ready day and "<br />

night,<br />

Where linger ye, my friends? The time is rightl<br />

Is not<br />

the glacier's grey<br />

to-dayfor you<br />

Rose-garlanded?<br />

The brooklet seeks you; wind, cloud,with longingthread<br />

And thrust themselves yet higherto the blue,<br />

To spy for you from farthest eagle'sview.<br />

My table was spreadout for you on high:"<br />

Who dwelleth so<br />

Star-near, so near the grislypitbelow? "<br />

My realm^ " what<br />

realm hath wider boundary?<br />

My who hath honey" sippedits fragrancy?<br />
