Drei Schwestern
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im Garten des Herrn, im urlichten Land,
da stehen drei Bäume, drei Schwestern,
ihr Antlitz dem Ew'gen zugewandt:
Heute, Morgen, Gestern.

Es lagen drei Ringe am Dunkel im Grund
der endlosen Tiefe und Weite;
der Meister sie schuf zu einem Rund:
Morgen, Gestern, Heute.

Wozu seine Schöpfung ihm dienen sollt',
bleibt Uneingeweihten verborgen.
Das ewige Rund, es rollt und rollt:
Gestern, Heute und Morgen.
