Über die Welt hin ziehen die Wolken. Grün durch die Wälder fliesst ihr Licht. Herz, vergiss! In stiller Sonne webt [linderndster]1 Zauber, unter wehenden Blumen blüht tausend Trost. [Vergiss! Vergiss!]2 Aus fernem Grund pfeift, horch, ein Vogel ... Er singt sein Lied. Das Lied vom Glück! Vom Glück.

Les nuages passent au-dessus du monde. Leur lumière verte coule à-travers la forêt. Oublie, mon cœur ! Dans le calme soleil se tisse un sortilège des plus lénifiant, sous des fleurs flottantes fleurissent mille consolations. Oublie ! oublie ! D'un fond lointain, écoute, un oiseau siffle . . . Il chante sa chanson. La chanson du bonheur ! Du bonheur.
