Jede Blüte will zur Frucht, Jeder Morgen Abend werden, Ewiges ist nicht auf Erden Als der Wandel, als die Flucht. Auch der schönste Sommer will Einmal Herbst und Welke spüren. Halte, Blatt, geduldig still, Wenn der Wind dich will entführen. Spiel dein Spiel und wehr dich nicht, Laß es still geschehen. Laß vom Winde, der dich bricht, Dich nach Hause wehen.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Blätter wehen vom Baume, Lieder vom Lebenstraume Wehen spielend dahin; Vieles ist untergegangen, Seit wir zuerst sie sangen, Zärtliche Melodien. Sterblich sind auch die Lieder, Keines tönt ewig wieder, Alle verweht der Wind: Blumen und Schmetterlinge, Die unvergänglicher Dinge Flüchtiges Gleichnis sind.
