First lines
NOT I, not I, but the wind that blows through me! / A fine wind is blowing the new direction of Time. / If only I let it bear me, carry me, if only it carry / me!
If only I am sensitive, subtle, oh, delicate, a / winged gift!
If only, most lovely of all, I yield myself and am / borrowed
By the fine, fine wind that takes its course through / the chaos of the world
