Bei dem angenehmsten Wetter
singen alle Vogelein,
klatscht der Regen auf die Blätter,
sing ich so für mich allein.

Denn mein Aug' kann nichts entdecken,
wenn der Blitz auch grausam glüht,
was im Wandern könnt' erschrecken
ein zufriedenes Gemüt.

Frei vom Mammon will ich schreiten
auf dem Feld der Wissenschaft,
sinne ernst und nehm' zu Zeiten 
einen Mund voll Rebensaft.

Bin ich müde vom Studieren,
wann der Mond tritt sanft herfür,
pfleg' ich dann zu musizieren 
vor der Allerschönsten Tür.
