Page 40 - Freude heißt die starke Feder In der ewigen Natur. Freude, Freude treibt die Räder In der großen Weltenuhr. Blumen lockt sie aus den Keimen, Sonnen aus dem Firmament, Sphären rollt sie in den Räumen, Die des Sehers Rohr nicht kennt.
Page 54 - Zwo gewalt'ge Nationen ringen Um der Welt alleinigen Besitz, Aller Länder Freiheit zu verschlingen Schwingen sie den Dreizack und den Blitz. Gold muß ihnen jede Landschaft wägen, Und wie Brennus in der rohen Zeit Legt der Franke seinen ehrnen Degen In die Waage der Gerechtigkeit.
