Es liegt ein tiefer Frieden rings auf dem Land umher, kaum dass ein Windhauch leise sich regt im Blätterheer. Die Abendschatten sinken und hüllen still mich ein, nur auf den fernen Höhen weilt noch ein letzter Schein. Dort über jenen Bergen ist meiner Sehnsucht Ziel. O wunderbare Erde, du birgst des Glückes viel!
