Wie der stöhnende Wind durch die Nacht Stürmt mein Verlangen nach dir, Jede Sehnsucht ist aufgewacht -- O du, die mich krank gemacht, Was weißt du von mir! Leise lösch ich mein spätes Licht, Fiebernde Stunden zu wachen, Und die Nacht hat dein Angesicht, Und der Wind, der von Liebe spricht, Hat dein unvergeßliches Lachen!

2. Bruder Tod
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.

3. Herbsttag
Wald läßt die Blätter sinken, Talnebel hängen schwer, Es hat der Strom kein Blinken, Der Wald kein Rauschen mehr. Da kommt der Sturm gepfiffen Und schüttelt lichtes Haar Und fegt mit festen Griffen Das Land vom Nebel klar. Er schont nicht Laub nicht Äste, Nichts Hübsches ist ihm wert, Der Vogel bangt im Neste, Der Bauer friert am Herd. Räum auf und brich in Scherben, Was nimmer halten mag, Und reiß aus Nacht und Sterben Empor den lichten Tag!

4. Voll Blüten steht der Pfirsichbaum
Voll Blüten steht der Pfirsichbaum, Nicht jede wird zur Frucht, Sie schimmern hell wie Rosenschaum Durch Blau und Wolkenflucht. Wie Blüten gehn Gedanken auf, Hundert an jedem Tag -- Laß blühen! laß dem Ding den Lauf! Frag nicht nach dem Ertrag! Es muß auch Spiel und Unschuld sein Und Blütenüberfluß, Sonst wär die Welt uns viel zu klein Und Leben kein Genuß.

5. Allein
Es führen über die Erde Straßen und Wege viel, Aber alle haben Dasselbe Ziel. Du kannst reiten und fahren Zu zweien und zu drein, Den letzten Schritt mußt du Gehen allein. Drum ist kein Wissen Noch Können so gut, Als daß man alles Schwere Alleine tut.
