63. Sternen-Moral. Vorausbestimmt zur Sternenbahn, Was geht dich, Stern, das Dunkel an? Roll’ selig hin durch diese Zeit! Ihr Elend sei dir fremd und weit! Der fernsten Welt gehört dein Schein: Mitleid soll Sünde für dich sein! Nur Ein Gebot gilt dir: sei rein!

63. Star Morality. Predestined for the stellar path, What is darkness to you, star? Roll blissfully on through this time! Let its misery remain strange and far from you! Your radiance belongs to the most distant world: Pity shall be sin for you! Only one commandment applies to you: be pure!

63. Morale d’étoile. Prédestinée à ta course stellaire, que t’importe, étoile, l’obscurité ? Roule bienheureuse à travers ce temps ! Que sa misère te demeure étrangère et lointaine ! Ton éclat appartient au monde le plus éloigné : pour toi, la compassion doit être péché ! Un seul commandement vaut pour toi : sois pure !
