O der blaue, blaue Himmel! 
O das grüne, grüne Thal! 
Goldner Würmchen bunt Gewimmel 
In dem goldnen, goldnen Stral! 

Und von allen Blütenbäumen
Woget süßer, süßer Duft,
Und in allen Himmelsräumen 
Woget laue, laue Luft.

Offen stehn des Himmels Pforten, 
Nieder strömet sel'ge Lust,
Überall und allerorten 
Blüht's und blüht in jeder Brust.
