A young clean-shaven man wearing a feathered hat and a cloak which is gathered up in his arms stands with his tilted looking at the full moon. He is in the courtyard of a medieval castle, outdoor stairs climbing up a tower behind him and the close houses of the town in the background on and beyond the wall.
That you in this world’s madhouse
Must revolve in ever-same circles
around our land,—
Moon, I implore you at this hour:
Stand with me for my cause! (p. 150)
The above is from automatic translation; here is the original German:
Dass du in dem Weltentollhaus
Muszt in immer gleichen Ringe
Dich um unser Glend drehen,—
Mond, beschwör’ ich dich zur Stunde:
Steh’ mit bei zu meinem Wersze!
