Hemmet hvilar i rosor, solsken på gröna blad! Marmorreliefer, salen festligt glad. Rosorna röda stå, luften är joniskt blå. Aldrig ditt solhem skall ur mitt sinne gå. Men du äger ett annat, drömmarnas höga loft: månmelodier, nattviolers doft. Liljorna hvita stå, natten är hög och blå. Ljufva, ditt månhem älskar jag mest ändå.
