Ätherische ferne Stimmen, Der Lerchen himmlische Grüße, Wie regt ihr mir so süße Die Brust, ihr lieblichen Stimmen! Ich schließe leis mein Auge, Da ziehn Erinnerungen In sanften Dämmerungen Durchweht vom Frühlingshauche.

Etherische, verre stemmen, Van leeuw’riken hemelse groeten, Wat wek j' ontroering, zoete, In 't hart, o lieflijke stemmen! Ik sluit nu zacht mijn ogen, Daar zie ‘k herinneringen In tere schemeringen, Door lentewind bevlogen.
