Text:

Um heller Blumen Farbenring, 
kost Biene schon und Schmetterling 
durch Gräser schlüpft der Käfer,
im Perlenglanze steht die Au,
die Bäume schütteln goldnen Tau,
erwacht vom Traum, ihr Schläfer. 

Ja hebe dich, o Seele auch, 
und trinke frischen Morgenhauch
in vollen, sel’gen Zügen, 
dein ist die weite, schöne Welt,
vom Grase bis zum Himmelszelt,
zu freiem, freiem Seelenfluge.
