The chalice was suspended in the air br Like the golden sun for a splendid moment. br Here only Greek should be heard: br To take the whole world in your hands, like a simple apple. br br The triumphal zenith of the service, br Light in a round room under a cupola in July, br So outside of time we could fully sigh br About that meadow, where time doesn't fly. br br The Eucharist drags on like an eternal noon -- br Everyone takes the Sacrament, performs, and sings, br In view of everyone the sacred vessel br Pours out with inexhaustible rejoicing.
