Im Frührot steht ein junger Apfelbaum, Zum Erstenmal mit reifer Frucht behangen. Es zieht ein weicher Wind durch seinen Traum Und küßt die zarten Aste voll Verlangen. Im Baumesschatten schläft ein weißes Lamm, Ganz kleine Vögel zwitschern in den Zweigen, Und leise tanzen um den schlanken Stamm Ganz kleine Kinder einen sanften Reigen.
