  Kommt, laßt uns geh'n spazieren
Durch den vielgrünen Wald!
Die Vögel musizieren,
Daß Berg und Tal erschallt.

  Wohl dem, der frei kann singen,
Wie du, du Volk der Luft,
Und seine Stimme schwingen
Zu der, auf die er hofft.

  Wohl jedem, der frei lebet
Wie du, du leichte Schar,
In Trost und Frieden schwebet
Und außer aller Fahr.
Confirmed with Königstädtisches Gymnasium in Berlin, XII., Ostern 1889, Bericht über das Schuljahr Ostern 188 bis Ostern 1889, page 31.
