Blätter wehen vom Baume, Lieder vom Lebenstraume Wehen spielend dahin; Vieles ist untergegangen, Seit wir zuerst sie sangen, Zärtliche Melodien. Sterblich sind auch die Lieder, Keines tönt ewig wieder, Alle verweht der Wind: Blumen und Schmetterlinge, Die unvergänglicher Dinge Flüchtiges Gleichnis sind.
Hermann Hesse-Lieder, 3. Folge , opus 310

3. Blauer Schmetterling  [sung text checked 1 time]
Flügelt ein kleiner blauer Falter vom Wind geweht, Ein perlmutterner Schauer, Glitzert, flimmert, vergeht. So mit Augenblicksblinken, So im Vorüberwehn Sah ich das Glück mir winken, Glitzern, flimmern, [vergehn]1.

4. Wie sind die Tage schwer!  [sung text checked 1 time]
Wie sind die Tage schwer! An keinem Feuer kann ich erwarmen, Keine Sonne lacht mir mehr, Ist alles leer, Ist alles kalt und ohne Erbarmen, Und auch die lieben klaren Sterne schauen mich trostlos an, Seit ich im Herzen erfahren, Daß Liebe sterben kann.

5. 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.

6. Traum  [sung text checked 1 time]
Es ist immer derselbe Traum: Ein rotblühender Kastanienbaum, Ein Garten, voll von Sonnenflor, Einsam ein altes Haus davor. Dort, wo der stille Garten liegt, Hat meine Mutter mich gewiegt; Vielleicht - es ist so lange her - Steht Garten, Haus und Baum nicht mehr. Vielleicht geht jetzt ein Wiesenweg Und Pflug und Egge drüber weg, Von Heimat, Garten, Haus und Baum Ist nichts geblieben als mein Traum.
