Du schöner Vogel fliegst noch vor mir her, Hoch über Wälder, über Berg und Meer. Du hebst die weißen Schwingen: Mein Herz beginnt zu singen. Du senkst dein Glanzgefieder: Es schweigen alle Lieder. Bin, wo du bist, und folge deinem Flug, Du schöner Vogel sonder Trotz und Trug. Mein Traum hält dich im Schweben. Dein Lied ist ganz mein Leben. Du schöner junger Vogel, sonder Zeit und Ruh, Hoch über meine dunkle Schwermut fliege du!
