summary:
  Thou, Spirit of the Earth, art nearer: Thou busy Spirit, how near I feel to thee! Dost thou thy father honor, as a youth? Thou seest, not vain the threats I bring thee: Thy steps through life, I''ll guide thee,-Then art thou from thy service free! But thou hast heard, ''tis not of joy we''re talking. Thou art a grandchild, therefore woe to thee! With all thy likeness to God, thou''lt yet be a sorry example! To let thee see how smooth life runs away. Know''st thou, at last, thy Lord and Master? Thou''lt find, this drink thy blood compelling, Thou art a dear, good-hearted man, ''Tis long since thou hast been to mass or to confession. Thy guilty heart shall then dismay thee. Thee, too!--''Tis thou! And yet ''tis thou, so good, so kind to see! If thou feel''st it is I, then come with me!

summary:
  Now, then, come down from thy old case, I bid thee, _Wagner._ What feelings, O great man, thy heart must swell If thou, as man, men with new light hast blest, Why dost thou stop and stare with all thy eyes? Then may''st thou ask whate''er shall please thee. Then thy charmed heart shall melt away. Thou art not yet the man that shall hold fast the devil! Feel that with men a man thou art. Yet shall there also come a time, good friend, In all thy life, no man, nor man''s word hast thou known? The word comes in, a friend in need, to thee. And, with thy likeness to God, shall woe one day betide thee! I know thou art a dear good man, I come to free thee; thou art dreaming. And ''tis thou, the same good soul, I see. Thou gav''st thy heart to me.]
