O schau, sie schweben wieder Wie leise Melodien Vergessener schöner Lieder Am blauen Himmel hin! Kein Herz kann sie verstehen, Dem nicht auf langer Fahrt Ein Wissen von allen Wehen Und Freuden des Wanderns ward. Ich liebe die Weißen, Losen Wie Sonne, Meer und Wind, Weil sie der Heimatlosen Schwestern und Engel sind.
