Notes:

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!
