Die [ihr meine]1 Brüder seid, Arme Menschen nah und ferne, Die ihr im [Bezirk]2 der Sterne Tröstung träumet eurem Leid, Die ihr [wortelos]3 gefaltet In die blaß gestirnte Nacht Schmale Dulderhände haltet, Die ihr leidet, die ihr wacht, Arme, irrende Gemeinde, Schiffer ohne Stern und Glück -- Fremde, dennoch mir Vereinte, Gebt mir meinen Gruß zurück.
