Sopran: Kleiner Flügel Ahornsamen schwebst im Winde! Mußt doch in der Erde Dunkel sinken. Aber du wirst auferstehn dem Tage, all den Düften und der Frühlingszeit; wirst aus Wurzeln in das Helle steigen, bald im Himmel auch verwurzelt sein. Wieder wirst aus dir du kleine Flügel senden, die in sich schon tragen deine ganze schweigend Leben sagende Gestalt.
