Weites, goldenes Ährenmeer Wogt im Wind auf reifen Stengeln. Hufbeschlag und Sensendengeln Klingen fern vom Dorfe her. Warme, düfteschwere Zeit! Zitternd in der Sonne Gluten Wiegen sich die goldnen Fluten Reif und schon zum Schnitt bereit. Fremdling, der ich ohne Pfad Suchend pilgere auf Erden, Wird ich reif befunden werden, Wenn auch mir der Schnitter naht?
