[Sei]1 nicht traurig, bald ist es Nacht, Da sehn wir über dem bleichen Land Den kühlen Mond, wie er heimlich lacht Und ruhen Hand in Hand. Sei nicht traurig, bald kommt die Zeit, Da haben wir Ruh. [Unsre]2 Kreuzlein stehen Am hellen Straßenrande zu zweit, Und es regnet und schneit, Und die Winde kommen und gehen.
Lieder und Gesänge , opus 37
by Heinrich Pestalozzi (1878 - 1940)

2. Im Grase hingestreckt  [sung text checked 1 time]
Im Grase hingestreckt Lausch ich der Halme zartem Wald, Der flüstert wirr und hat mir bald Den Himmel fast verdeckt. Es kommt die Zeit heran, Da weiß ich nichts von Leide mehr Und schmerzt es heute noch so sehr, Alsdann ist es vertan. Dann kreist mein heißes Blut Gekühlt und licht in Halm und Klee, Und dieser Stunde grimmes Weh Ist still, ist kühl, ist gut.

3. Die Nacht  [sung text checked 1 time]
Die Nacht ist mir so nah bekannt, Wir können unsre Gedanken lesen, Wir haben dasselbe Vaterland, Wir sind vorzeiten Geschwister gewesen. Und abermal um eine Zeit Da wird sie mich so ganz umfangen! Sie nickt, sie streichelt meine Wangen Und fragt: bist du bereit?

4. Es wird dir sonderbar erscheinen  [sung text checked 1 time]
Es wird dir sonderbar erscheinen, Daß ich zuweilen wie ein Knabe Nicht schlafen kann vor lautem Weinen Und bitterlich das Heimweh habe, Und daß ich tagelang in Träumen Hinschlendre mit geheimem Leid An fremden, stillen Gartensäumen, Gedenkend meiner Kinderzeit ...

5. Gondel  [sung text checked 1 time]
Bläue über dir und Sonnenglut, Unter dir die ewig stille Flut, Auf dem schlanken, leichtbewegten Kiel Trägst du Saitenklang und Liebesspiel. Schwarz und ernst sind deine leichten Wände. Süß, solang das frohe Heute loht, Süß und seltsam ist der Traum vom Tod, Von der Jugend und der Liebe Ende. Meine jungen Jahre gleiten Unbekannten Zielen zu Durch beglänzte schöne Weiten, Schlanke Gondel, rasch und leicht wie du.

6. Wanderschaft  [sung text checked 1 time]
Im Walde blüht der Seidelbast, Im [Graben]1 liegt [noch]2 Schnee; Das du mir heut' geschrieben hast, Das Brieflein tat mir weh. [Jetzt]3 schneid' ich einen Stab im Holz; Ich weiß ein ander Land, Da sind die [Jungfern]4 nicht so stolz [Dem Lieben]5 abgewandt. Im Walde blüht der Seidelbast, Kein Brieflein tut mir weh, Und das du mir geschrieben hast, Schwimmt draußen auf dem See, Schwimmt draußen auf dem Bodensee, Ja draußen auf dem See.
