Prayer, Meditation and Peom about Love at Alpstein - Appenzell

Far from God's heart, her homeland, the soul is lonely, bound to the world. A secret mourning beckons her heavenwards, but she lacks understanding for her own pain. Until the song of heaven, until love descends - and directs the longing for home. Love is the soul what distant songs are to the alpine child of the lost mountains. That's why the soul's only respite is when it rests where only its home is. Love can only raise you from the dust that surrounds you; Love alone gives life holy divine form.

Only he is free who it conquers, happy only he whom it delights, powerful only he whom it penetrates, and only beautiful he whom it adorns. Rich life surges, a rippling stream, with a thousand strivings around the solemn cathedral. Meanwhile, in his peace, only one feeling stirs, that which is separated from the world, yet carries everything in it.

That, falling silent in the world, resounds in all hearts; That, veiling itself to the world, alone beautifies the world. This is the true love that does not separate from the world and, in the midst of the crowd, still burns high and lonely.
