Libretto/text
1. Stilla på himlen molnen de segla lika som svanors skimrande tåg
2. De till dalens hyddor smyga, sakta, stilla
3. Till den gamles bädd de gå, Där i tysta ringar stå
4. Ännu en dröm, skämtande, öm, genom den dunkla, tigande kvällen
5. Och andra nu gå att ljuva barnet smeka
6. Vid sin lampa tänkarn somnat, trött av tvivlens tunga split
7. Lärkan i skyn står över byn. Redan en ärla trippar så snällt
8. Med en barnbön på sin mun har nu den lärde vaknat
