Auf Flügeln des Gesanges, Herzliebchen, trag ich dich fort, Fort nach den Fluren des Ganges, Dort weiß ich den schönsten Ort; Dort liegt ein [rotblühender]1 Garten Im stillen Mondenschein, Die Lotosblumen erwarten Ihr trautes Schwesterlein. Die Veilchen kichern und kosen, Und schaun nach den Sternen empor, Heimlich erzählen die Rosen Sich duftende Märchen ins Ohr. Es hüpfen herbei und lauschen Die frommen, klugen Gazelln, Und in der Ferne rauschen Des [heiligen]2 Stromes Well'n. Dort wollen wir niedersinken Unter dem Palmenbaum, Und Liebe und Ruhe trinken, Und träumen seligen Traum.
Auf Flügeln des Gesanges

Ich will meine Seele tauchen In den Kelch der Lilie hinein; Die Lilie soll [klingend]1 hauchen Ein Lied von der Liebsten mein. Das Lied soll [schauern]2 und beben Wie der Kuß von ihrem Mund, Den sie mir einst gegeben In wunderbar süßer Stund'.

[Im]1 Rhein, [im]1 [schönen]2 Strome, Da spiegelt sich in den [Well'n]3 Mit seinem großen Dome Das [große, heil'ge]4 Köln.
