Ich bin der Hirsch und du das Reh, Der Vogel du und ich der Baum, Die Sonne du und ich der Schnee, Du bist der Tag und ich der Traum. Nachts aus meinem schlafenden Mund Fliegt ein Goldvogel zu dir, Hell ist seine Stimme, sein Flügel bunt, Der singt dir das Lied voll der Liebe, Der singt dir das Lied von mir.
