Was blickst du träumend ins verwölkte Land? Ich gab mein Herz in deine schöne Hand. Es ist so voll von ungesagtem Glück, So heiß - hast du es nicht gefühlt? Mit fremdem Lächeln gibst du mir's zurück. Ein sanfter Schmerz ... Es schweigt. Es ist gekühlt.

2. Einsamer Abend  [sung text checked 1 time]
In der leeren Flasche und im Glas Wankt der Kerze Schimmer; Es ist kalt im Zimmer. Draußen fällt der Regen weich ins Gras. Wieder legst du nun zu kurzer Ruh Frierend dich und traurig nieder. Morgen kommt und Abend wieder, Kommen immer wieder, Aber niemals du.

3. Weiße Rose in der Dämmerung  [sung text checked 1 time]
Traurig lehnst du dein Gesicht Übers Laub, dem Tod ergeben, Atmest geisterhaftes Licht, Lässest bleiche Träume schweben. Aber innig wie Gesang, Weht im letzten leisen Schimmer, Noch den ganzen Abend lang Dein geliebter Duft durchs Zimmer. Deine kleine Seele wirbt Ängstlich um das Namenlose, Und sie lächelt, und sie stirbt Mir am Herzen, Schwester Rose.

- by Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962), "Weiße Rose in der Dämmerung", written 1915

4. Bruder Tod  [sung text checked 1 time]
Auch zu mir kommst du einmal, Du vergißt mich nicht, Und zu Ende ist die Qual Und die Kette bricht. Noch erscheinst du fremd und fern, Lieber Bruder Tod. Stehest als ein kühler Stern Über meiner Not. Aber einmal wirst du nah Und voll Flammen sein -- Komm, Geliebter, ich bin da, Nimm mich, ich bin dein.

5. Weg nach Innen  [sung text checked 1 time]
Wer den Weg nach innen fand, Wer in glühndem Sichversenken Je der Weisheit Kern geahnt, Daß sein Sinn sich Gott und Welt Nur als Bild und Gleichnis wähle: Ihm wird jedes Tun und Denken Zwiegespräch mit seiner eignen Seele, Welche Welt und Gott enthält.
