Es singt ein Schnitter auf der Rast, Im Dufte schwelgt der reife Klee -- O du, daß du das alte Weh Mir wieder wachgesungen hast! Volkslieder, Kinderlieder gehn Leistönig auf im Abendwind, Und wieder schmerzen alle Wehn, Die doch vernarbt, vergessen sind. Spätabendwolken segeln zier, Die Erde atmet warm und weit . . . Was willst du heute noch von mir, [Verlorene]1 Jugendzeit?

2. Spätblau  [sung text checked 1 time]
O reine, [wundervolle]1 Schau, Wenn du aus Purpurrot und Gold Dich ebnest friedvoll, ernst und hold, Du leuchtendes Späthimmelblau! Du mahnst an eine blaue See, Darauf das Glück vor Anker hält Zu seliger Rast. Vom Ruder fällt Der letzte Tropfen Erdenweh.

3. Bitte  [sung text checked 1 time]
Wenn du [die kleine Hand]1 mir gibst, Die so viel Ungesagtes sagt, Hab ich dich jemals dann gefragt, Ob du mich liebst? Ich will ja nicht, daß du mich liebst, Will nur, daß ich dich nahe weiß Und daß du manchmal stumm und leis Die Hand mir gibst.
