Über mir in wolkigen Lüften Jubeln Lerchen traumverloren. Tief im Haidekraute lieg’ ich, Fühle mich so erdgeboren. Ganz, als ob ich aus der Scholle Wildentwachsen wär’, wie Bäume, Leicht vom Haidewind geschaukelt, Erde halb -- und halb auch Träume. Ganz, als ob ich aus der Scholle Aufgeflogen wär' mit Schwingen, Hoch im Sommerwind aufsteigend, Erde halb -- und halb doch Klingen.

Above me in cloudy breezes Larks rejoice, lost in dreams. I lie deep in the heather, I feel myself to be so born of earth. Utterly, as if I had grown wildly Out of clod of earth, like trees, Rocked lightly by the moor-wind, Half earth -- and also half dreams. Utterly, as if from the clod of earth I had flown up with wings, Rising high in the summer wind, Half earth -- and yet half ringing sound.
