Hier will ich ruhn. Es flügelt lind Im Hain und biegt die Wipfel kaum Von Wiesen her ein leiser Wind Sich schmiegend scheu an Busch und Baum. Von allem, was im Weiten liegt, Kommt nur ein Hauch ein halber Laut Zu mir vom Winde hergewiegt Mit einem Ruch von Wiesenkraut. Von allem, was im Weiten liegt, Von meiner Jugend Leid und Glück, Blieb nur vom leisen Wind gewiegt Ein stilles Müdesein zurück.
