Seele, banger Vogel du, Immer wieder mußt du fragen: Wann nach so viel wilden Tagen Kommt der Friede, kommt die Ruh? O ich weiß: kaum haben wir Unterm Boden stille Tage, Wird vor neuer Sehnsucht dir Jeder liebe Tag zur Plage. Und du wirst, geborgen kaum, Dich um neue Leiden mühen Und voll Ungeduld den Raum Als der jüngste Stern durchglühen.
