To My Neighbor

I lift you higher,
lift you out
of your body cells
stuffed with anxiety
of your past -
an evil load that smells.

I'll fill each cell
with love and joy
that makes the
angels dance.
You'll glide through earthly
filth and stench -
a spiritual trance.

From your youth filled eyes,
your hands
and feet,
a holy peace shall flow,
so you and I
be filled with grace -
let us be still
and know.

William Hermanns
[P527]

Seelentränen

Seelentränen sind Gedichte,
rot mit Herzblut aufgeschrieben,
tiefem Menschenleid zum Ruhm,

Lies sie still in reinem Lichte,
unbeschattet,
frei von Trieben:
Du betrittst ein Heiligtum.

Wilhelm Hermanns
[G001]

Writings

William Hermanns mother tongue is German, in which he wrote German poetry (Gedichte), essays, radio educational plays and stage plays. He also wrote his first drafts of his memoirs of his war and prisoner of war experience, as well as his first conversation with Albert Einstein in 1930. After fleeing the Nazi regime in Germany in 1934, he began writing in English, as well in German. He so mastered the English language that he translated the Christian Science Hymnal from English into German after he was granted a visa to the United States in 1937.

The list of published books and other manuscripts can be seen for those works in English and another list for those works in German.
