Seele, wie bist du schöner, tiefer, nach Schneestürmen. Auch du hast sie, gleich der Natur. Und über beiden liegt noch ein trüber Hauch, eh' das Gewölk sich verzog!

5. Hier ist Friede  [sung text checked 1 time]
Hier ist Friede. Hier weine ich mich aus über alles! Hier löst sich mein unfaßbares, unermeßliches Leid, das mir die Seele verbrennt ... Siehe, hier sind keine Menschen, keine Ansiedlungen. Hier ist Friede! Hier tropft Schnee leise in Wasserlachen ...
