You can help us modernize! The present website has been online for a very long time and we want to bring it up to date. As of May 6, we are $2,380 away from our goal of $15,000 to fund the project. The fully redesigned site will be better for mobile, easier to read and navigate, and ready for the next decade. Please give today to join dozens of other supporters in making this important overhaul possible!

Komm, o Nacht! - und nimm mich hin,
Dass ich schlafend mich vergesse,
Länger nicht mit wachem Sinn
Meines Kummers Tiefen messe.

Schlafe, müdes, wundes Herz
Deine Klagen sind vergebens.
Schlaf ist Balsam deinem Schmerz,
Traum die Blüte meines Lebens.

[Es sprach zu Hänschen Gretchen]1:
"Mein Lieben mich gereut.
Du [scherzt]2 mit allen Mädchen,
Wir sind geschied'ne Leut.
Geh' deines [Weges]3 wieder!
Mein Kuss bleibt dir versagt,
Bis einst der span'sche Flieder
Im Garten Aepfel tragt!"

Das Fenster ward geschlossen,
Den Vorhang zog sie für,
Und Hänschen ging verdrossen
Von seiner Liebsten Thür.
Als Tags darauf er wieder
Den Weg zur Trauten fand,
Sass Gretchen auf dem Flieder,
[Daran]4 sie Aepfel band.

Wolkengüsse,
Frühe Nacht,
Breiter Flüsse
Wilde Macht --

Kahler Felder
Nebelduft,
Nasser Wälder
Schwere Luft --

Ringsum Klage,
Sturmeston, --
Herbstestage,
Naht ihr schon?
