O Himmelblau, o Himmelblau,
   Hab' dich so oft gesehn --
Was sagst du mir heut zum ersten Mal,
   Wie du wunder-, wunderschön?

O Vögel all, ihr Vögelein,
   Ich lauscht euch doch so oft -- 
Was sagt ihr mir heut zum ersten Mal,
   Was ihr träumt und sehnt und hofft?

O Gotteswelt, schöne Gotteswelt,
   Wie traut erschienst du mir --
Was sagst du mir heut zum ersten Mal,
   Daß ich ein Teil von dir?
