Über die Welt hin ziehen die Wolken
Language: German (Deutsch)
Über die Welt hin ziehen die Wolken. Grün durch die Wälder fliesst ihr Licht. Herz, vergiss! In stiller Sonne webt linderndster Zauber, unter wehenden Blumen blüht tausend Trost. [Vergiss! Vergiss!]1 Aus fernem Grund pfeift, horch, ein Vogel ... Er singt sein Lied. Das Lied vom Glück! Vom Glück.
