Baß Schweigt auch die Welt, aus Farben ist sie immer, so lang die Sonne scheint. Die Nachtigall, wenn nachts kein Farbenschimmer mehr leuchtet, Freude weint. Dann klingt es auf, wenn nichts das Aug mehr bindet, dann flutet Glanz ins Ohr: Wenn das beweglich Farbige verschwindet, tritt das Bewegende im Klang hervor.
Kantate Nr. 2

Baß Sehr tief verhalten innerst Leben singt im Bienenkorb in stiller Mitternacht, weil es in ihm noch immer Kunde bringt, daß Fleiß aus bunter Vielheit Süße macht. Der Bienenkorb, das weiße Sternenzelt, ist dicht durchtropft vom süßen Schöpfungslicht. Es kreist darin ein jedes Bienlein Welt, bevor der Schwarm in ewige Frühe bricht. Das Herz, der kleinste Bienenkorb, umgibt die andern alle. Seinen Honig klärt der eine Imker, der die Süße liebt der reinen Liebe, die er voll gewährt.

Chor Schöpfen aus Brunnen des Himmels nach Wassern des Worts ist das Läuten, wenn so die menschliche Hand zieht an den Krügen des Klangs. Sopran Alle Glocken, die Herzen, wollen wir läuten, o Menschen! Nimmer durch Räume der Zeit, nimmer verstumme ihr Schlag! Chor und Sopran Sturmläuten muß man die Liebe! Chor Sie komme nicht träge und müde: Sopran Nein, sie bewege die Luft, rühre an innersten Schlaf. Chor Komme durch dichtestes Dunkel und lege die Toten zur Ruhe, Sopran und Chor wache, Chor wo Leben noch glimmt, daß sie es wecke zu sich.
