Waldfrieden, der Einsiedel, spielt leis' auf seiner Fiedel und raunet mir Märchen zu; ich träum' in stiller Ruh'. Ich fahr' im Zauberwagen, von Elfen fortgetragen, weit über Busch und Feld. Wo bist du, laute Welt? Bist mir abhanden kommen, wirst mir jetzt nicht mehr frommen? Ich wohn' im Märchenschloss im Wald, im grünen Moos.
