Sonne, leuchte mir ins Herz hinein, Wind, verweh mir Sorgen und Beschwerden! Tiefere Wonne weiß ich nicht auf Erden, Als im Weiten unterwegs zu sein. Nach der Ebene nehm ich meinen Lauf, Sonne soll mich sengen, Meer mich kühlen; Unsrer Erde Leben mitzufühlen, Tu ich alle Sinne festlich auf. Und so soll mir jeder neue Tag Neue Freunde, neue Brüder weisen, Bis ich leidlos alle Kräfte preisen, Aller Sterne Gast und Freund sein mag.

Der Tod ging nachts durch eine Stadt. Ein Fenster war noch rot im Dach, Dort saß ob einem Verseblatt Ein kranker Dichter spät noch wach. Der Tod stieß leis das Fenster ein Und blies die trübe Ampel aus. Ein Hauch, ein Blick, ein Lächelschein, Und dunkel wurde Stadt und Haus.
