[Wolke] Lebwohl Liebe Wolke die wegzog und keinen nährenden Regen vergoss Und wieder die Reise Dantes. [Telegrafenmast] [Vogel] Telegraph Vogel der seine Flügel allenorten hängenlässt [Zug] Wo fährt wohl dieser Zug hin der ersterbend verklingt in der Ferne In den Tälern und schönen kühlen Wäldern des zarten Sommers, so blass? [Himmel] Die milde Nacht mondbeschienen und voll von Sternen Es ist dein Gesicht das ich nicht mehr sehe.
