Flucht
Language: German (Deutsch)
In der Freie will ich leben.
In dem Sarge dumpft der Tod.
Sieh nur dort das Abendroth
Um die heitern Hügel weben.
In der Freie blüht das Leben,
In der Enge hockt die Noth.
Eilt, drum eilt hinaus zu streben,
Eh das Herz zu stocken droht!
Licht und Luft und Raum ist noth.
In der Freie will ich leben.
Traute Vögel, laßt uns schweben,
Folgsam der Natur Gebot.

Vlucht
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
In de ruimte wil ik leven,
In de kist wacht ons de dood,
In de ruimte wil ik leven!
Zie zich ginds het avondrood
Om de lichte heuvels weven:
In de ruimte bloeit het leven,
In de engte hokt de nood.
Vlug ons dus naar 't land begeven,
Vóór het hart te stokken dreigt;
Zorg dat 't licht en adem krijgt.
In de ruimte wil ik leven.
Lieve vogels, laat ons zweven;
Waar ook de natuur toe neigt.
