Du stehst von Sommerfreude trunken Im seligen Licht und atmest kaum, Der Himmel scheint in deinen Kelch versunken, Die Lüfte wehn in deinem Flaum. Und wenn sie alle Schuld und Pein Von meiner Seele könnten wehen, So dürft ich wohl dein Bruder sein Und stille Tage bei dir stehen. So wäre meinen Weltenfahrten Ein selig leichtes Ziel ersehn, Gleich dir durch Gottes Träumegarten Als blauer Sommertraum zu gehn.

Embriagada del goig de l’estiu et dreces en la benaurada llum i a penes respires, el cel sembla enfonsat al teu calze, l’aire bufa en el teu borrissol. I si pogués rebufar de la meva ànima totes les faltes i penes, aleshores podria ser el teu germà i passar dies tranquils amb tu. Així, els meus viatges pel món podrien albirar una planera i benaurada destinació, per passar com tu a través del jardí de somnis de Déu com un blau somni d’estiu.
