Sopran: Kleiner Flügel Ahornsamen schwebst im Winde! Mußt doch in der Erde Dunkel sinken. Aber du wirst auferstehn dem Tage, all den Düften und der Frühlingszeit; wirst aus Wurzeln in das Helle steigen, bald im Himmel auch verwurzelt sein. Wieder wirst aus dir du kleine Flügel senden, die in sich schon tragen deine ganze schweigend Leben sagende Gestalt.

Soprano: Little wing of a maple seed, you hover in the wind! Must nevertheless sink into the dark of the soil. But you shall be resurrected to the day, [to] all the scents, and [to] springtime; from roots you shall rise into the brightness, soon also to be rooted in heaven. Again you shall send forth from yourself little wings, which already carry within them your entire being that silently speaks “life.”
