Die Worte des Glaubens

Die Worte des Glaubens is a poem by Friedrich Schiller (1759–1805), cited in the book by its opening line. The reference identifies the work through the line’s announcement of three words whose meaning is profound, while providing no further detail about the poem’s place or function in the surrounding narrative.

Identification

The book names the poem as Die Worte des Glaubens and attributes it to Friedrich Schiller, giving his dates as 1759–1805. The citation is framed around the poem’s opening words rather than a longer passage or account of its subject.

Opening Line

The cited line is “Drei Worte nenn' ich euch, inhaltsschwer,” glossed in the book as “Three Words I name to you, their meaning is profound.” Its concise declaration presents the poem as an act of naming: three words are introduced as carrying substantial meaning. The evidence does not identify those words or elaborate on the poem beyond this opening.
