Welt der gestalten lang lebewohl ! . . Öffne dich wald voll schlohweisser stämme! Oben im blau nur tragen die kämme Laubwerk und früchte: gold karneol. Mitten beginnt beim marmornen male Langsame quelle blumige spiele · Rinnt aus der wölbung sachte als fiele Korn um korn auf silberne schale. Schauernde kühle [schliesset]1 einen ring · Dämmer der frühe wölkt in den kronen · Ahnendes schweigen bannt die hier wohnen . . . Traumfittich rausche! Traumharfe kling!

Monde de formes, longue vie à toi !... Ouvre-toi, forêt pleine de troncs blancs comme la neige ! Là-haut dans le bleu seulement les crêtes portent feuillage et fruits : cornaline dorée. Au milieu, commencent près du monument en marbre Les jeux fleuris d'une source lente, Qui coule doucement de la voûte comme tomberaient Des grains l'un après l'autre sur une coupe d'argent. Une fraîcheur frissonnante ferme un anneau, La point du jour embue les cimes, Une prémonition silencieuse met au ban ceux qui habitent ici... Ailes du songe, frémissez ! Harpe du songe, résonne !
