Eines Dichters Traumgerank Mag sich feiner nicht verzweigen, Leichter nicht dem Winde neigen, Edler nicht ins Blaue steigen. Zärtlich, jung und überschlank Lässest du die lichten, langen Zweige mit verhaltnem Bangen Jedem Hauche regbar hangen. Also wiegend leis und schwank Willst du mir mit deinen feinen Schauern einer zärtlich reinen Jugendliebe Gleichnis scheinen.
