Blätter wehen vom Baume, Lieder vom Lebenstraume Wehen spielend dahin; Vieles ist untergegangen, Seit wir zuerst sie sangen, Zärtliche Melodien. Sterblich sind auch die Lieder, Keines tönt ewig wieder, Alle verweht der Wind: Blumen und Schmetterlinge, Die unvergänglicher Dinge Flüchtiges Gleichnis sind.
