When glance turns
To a sky-blue clear day,
When the purplr-red sun
Sinks low at sirocco,
Here nature bestows glory,
Joy, sound to eye and heart,
And we find in color lore,
The universal truth.

GER:
Wenn der Blick an heitern Tagen
Sich zur Himmelsbläue lenkt,
Beim Sirok der Sonnenwagen
Purpurrot sich niedersenkt,
Da gebt der Natur die Ehre,
Froh, an Aug und Herz gesund,
Und erkennt der Farbenlehre
Allgemeinen, ewigen Grund.
