Im Kastanienbaum der Wind Reckt verschlafen sein Gefieder, An den spitzen Dächern rinnt Dämmerung und Mondschein nieder. Alle Brunnen rauschen kühl Vor sich hin verworrene Sagen, Zehnuhrglocken im Gestühl Rüsten feierlich zum Schlagen. In den Gärten unbelauscht Schlummern mondbeglänzte Bäume, Durch die runden Kronen rauscht Tief das Atmen schöner Träume. Zögernd leg ich aus der Hand Meine warmgespielte Geige, Staune weit ins blaue Land, Träume, sehne mich und schweige.
