Der Garten des Lebens
 (Sung text for setting by C. Loewe)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Garten des Lebens ist lieblich und schön! 
Es keimen und sprossen auf lachenden Höhn, 
In Tage des Lenzes, der Blüthen so viel! 
Da treiben die West manch fröhliches Spiel! 

 ... 

Noch blühet der Garten, noch säuselt der Wind, 
In Zweigen und Blüthen, so kühlend, so lind! 
Und führet in Kreisen den Maiduft umher! 
Noch blühet der Garten, so lieblich und hehr! 

 ... 

Und fallen sie unter das Wallenden Tritt,  
Die duftenden Blumen, so fallen wir mit. 
Die Erde, der ehmals das Veilchen entsproß, 
Die öffnet auch uns dann den kühligen Schooß. 

Note: Nägeli uses the first two lines of stanza 3 as a refrain.
