Erdbeeren glühn im Garten, Ihr Duft ist süß und voll, Mir ist, ich müsse warten, Daß durch den grünen Garten Bald meine Mutter kommen soll. Mir ist, ich bin ein Knabe, Und alles war geträumt, Was ich vertan, versäumt, Verspielt, verloren habe. Noch liegt im Gartenfrieden Die reiche Welt vor mir, Ist alles mir beschieden, Gehöret alles mir. Benommen bleib ich stehen Und wage keinen Schritt, Daß nicht die Düfte verwehen Und meine gute Stunde mit.
