Himmel und Erde
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wie der Bäume kühne Wipfel Zu des Lichtes Höhen streben! Wie der Berge greise Gipfel In des Himmels Wolken schweben! Wie im Mai der Wiesen Blühen Mit des Äthers Blau verschwimmet! Wie der Wälder herbstlich Glühen In des Frührots Licht verglimmet! O so seid ihr denn Verwandte, Himmel du und Mutter Erde! Freudig trag ich irdsche Bande, Da ich dein, O Himmel, werde!
