Wolken, leichte Schiffer, fahren Über mir und rühren mich Mit den zarten, wunderbaren Farbenschleiern wunderlich. Aus der blauen Luft entquollen, Eine farbig schöne Welt, Die mich mit geheimnisvollen Reizen oft gefangen hält. Leichte, lichte, klare Schäume, Alles Irdischen befreit, Ob ihr schöne Heimwehträume Der befleckten Erde seid?
