GABRIEL:
 In holder Anmut stehn, 
 Mit jungem Grun geschmückt, 
 Die wogigten Hügel da.
 Aus ihren Adern quillt 
 In fließendem Kristall 
 Der kühlende Bach hervor.

URIEL:
 In frohen Kreisen schwebt, 
 Sich wiegend in der Luft, 
 Der munteren Vögel Schar. 
 Den bunten Federgfanz 
 Erhöht im Wechselflug 
 Das goldene Sonnenlicht.

RAPHAEL:
 Das helle Naß durchblitzt 
 Der Fisch und windet sich 
 Im steten Gewühl umher.
 Vom tiefsten Meeresgrund 
 Walzet sich Leviathan 
 Auf schaumender Weil' empor.

GABRIEL, URIEL, RAPHAEL:
 Wie viel sind deiner Werk', o Gott! 
 Wer fasset ihre Zahl?
 Wer, o Gott!
 Wer fasset ihre Zahl?
