Über alle Weiten weht der gleiche Wind. Warum weinen Menschen sich die Augen blind? Leuchten doch die Sterne allerorten gleich, liegt die fernste Ferne doch in Gottes Reich. Halt dein Herz dem Hoffen, nicht dem Trauern hin, daß es dies erfühle: Enden ist Beginn. Winde werden wehen, Sterne leuchtend stehn, wann und wo auch immer wir uns wieder sehn.
