1. In alchemy we have hidden wisdom
Concealed in our hearts

2. Our deeds and secrets are within
All else is fleeting vanity

3. We seek not a single hair or egg
So cease their vain pursuits

4. And extract things from their nature
Through rising up things improve

5. In earth's inversion from its nature
Lie lasting riches that endure

6. So solve the people's symbols and strive
To grasp the meanings on them focus
