Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nicht von kunstbehaunen
Gelben, weißen, braunen
Marmorn anzustaunen
Soll ein Grabmal stehn.
Sollt' ich starre Massen
Schwer euch drücken lassen?
Hier will ich mit nassen
Augen Blumen sehn;

Pflanzen, die mit kühlen 
Wurzelfingern wühlen
Leis' in euren Pfühlen,
Lockernd eure Gruft,
Die mit Schattenzweigen
Über euch sich neigen
Und gen Himmel steigen
Auf in Glanz und Duft.
