Es öffnet leise klingend 
Des Windes luft'ger Scherz 
Der Blumen rothe Lippen, 
Der Blätter grünes Herz. 

Es spitzt das Schilf die Ohren, 
Wenn's säuselt in dem Ried, 
Und rauscht mit tausend Zungen 
Ein frisches Morgenlied. 

Die Vögel auf den Zweigen 
Erweckt der Blätter Klang, 
Und in den Äther wirbelt 
Frohlockend ihr Gesang. 

Und hört der Mensch hierunten, 
Wie Alles lieblich stimmt, 
Wie Lust auf Wog' und Blättern 
In Melodieen schwimmt:  

Drückt er die Hand des Bruders 
Voll Andacht im Gemüt, 
Und seine Lippe jubelt, 
Und seine Seele glüht.
