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.
Fünf gemischte Chöre
Song Cycle by Heinrich Pestalozzi (1878 - 1940)

2. Fremde Stadt  [sung text checked 1 time]
Wie das so seltsam traurig macht: Ein Gang durch eine fremde Stadt, Die liegt und schläft in stiller Nacht Und mondbeglänzte Dächer hat. Und über Turm und Giebel reist Der Wolken wunderliche Flucht Still und gewaltig wie ein Geist, Der heimatlos nach Heimat sucht. Du aber, plötzlich übermannt, Ergibst dem wehen Zauber dich Und legst dein Bündel aus der Hand Und weinest lang und bitterlich.

3. Ähren im Sturm  [sung text checked 1 time]
O wie der Sturm so dunkel braust! Wir neigen ängstlich und zerzaust Uns tief vor seiner schauerlichen Macht Und bleiben zitternd wach die ganze Nacht. Wenn wir morgen noch leben werden, O wie wird dann der Himmel tagen Und warme Luft und Geläut von Herden Selige Wellen über uns schlagen!

4. An die Schönheit  [sung text checked 1 time]
Gib uns deine milde Hand! Von der Mutter Hand gerissen Irren wir in Finsternissen Kinder durch ein fremdes Land. Manchmal wenn es dunkel war, Schenkte eine Heimatweise Deiner Stimme wunderbar Licht und Trost der bangen Reise. Wandrer ohne Ziel und Pfad Irren wir in dunklen Weiten; Wolle du uns gnädig leiten, Bis der große Morgen naht!
