Die Wolken
Language:
German
Rasch wie die Pfeile zieh'n sie dahin,
Ach! Dass du wüsstest, wie weit und wohin[!]
Flögest so gerne von hinnen!
Leicht wie der Vogel im luftigen Raum,
Flögest du dort in der Wolke Saum,
Leben und Licht zu gewinnen!
Note: the text is misattributed to C. Köstlin on the score, but is likely by Lang's son Felix.
