Entflieht auf leichten Kähnen
berauschten Sonnenwelten
daß immer mildre Tränen
euch eure Flucht entgelten.

Seht diesen Taumel blonder
lichtblauer Traumgewalten
und trunkner Wonnen sonder
Verzückung sich entfalten.

Daß nicht der süße Schauer
in neues Leid euch hülle -
es sei die stille Trauer
die diesen Frühling fülle.

    Set to music by Anton von Webern (1883 - 1945), "Entflieht auf leichten Kähnen", op. 2 (1908)
