ROM THE HEIGHTS

By F W Nietzsche

Translated by L. A. Magnus

1. MIDDAY of Life! Oh, season of delight!

My summer’s park!

Uneaseful joy to look, to lurk, to hark —

I peer for friends, am ready day and night, —

Where linger ye, my friends?

The time is right!

2. Is not the glacier’s grey today for you

Rose-garlanded?
