Das ist der Morgen, den ich grüße! Mein Morgen. Sanft steigt er aus den Hügeln auf. Die Riesenfittiche beleben sich Voll roter Rosen, Wenn er aus dämmerdunkelem Ei Der Nacht mit einem kühnen Unwirklich großen Schwung sich löst Und seine Schritte durch die Allmacht dröhnen, Daß selbst die alte Mutter Sonne Ihm zu begegnen sich erhebt. Das ist der Morgen, den ich grüße! [Mein Morgen.]1 Sanft streichelt er die durstigen Halme Und läßt die dürren trinken Aus seiner gütevollen weißen Hand.
