Ich [ruhe]1 still im hohen grünen Gras Und sende lange meinen Blick nach oben, Von Grillen rings umschwirrt ohn Unterlaß, Von Himmelsbläue wundersam umwoben. [Und schöne weiße]2 Wolken ziehn dahin Durchs tiefe Blau, wie schöne stille Träume; -- Mir ist, als ob ich längst gestorben bin, Und ziehe selig [mit]3 durch ew'ge Räume.
Confirmed with Deutsche Lyrik seit Goethe's Tode. Ausgewählt von Maximilian Bern, Leipzig, Druck und Verlag von Philipp Reclam, 1878, pages 9-10.

Ik lig hier stil in ’t hoge groene gras En wend al lange tijd mijn blik naar boven, Door krekels steeds omringd met scherp gekras, Te gast in heerlijk blauwe hemelhoven. En1 mooie witte wolken drijven heen Door ’t diepe blauw, als mooie stille dromen; Mij is ’t alsof ik lang gestorven ben, En zalig door ’t heelal word meegenomen.
