Fünf Lieder | G. Ebner

Die ihr meine Brüder seid,
Arme Menschen nah und ferne,
Die ihr im Bezirk der Sterne
Tröstung träumet eurem Leid,
Die ihr wortelos gefaltet
In die blaß gestirnte Nacht
Schmale Dulderhände haltet,
Die ihr leidet, die ihr wacht,
Arme, irrende Gemeinde,
Schiffer ohne Stern und Glück --
Fremde, dennoch mir Vereinte,
Gebt mir meinen Gruß zurück.

Wieder schreitet er den braunen Pfad
Von den stürmeklaren Berge nieder,
Wieder quellen, wo der Schöne naht,
Liebe Blumen auf und Vogellieder.

Wieder auch verführt er meinen Sinn,
Daß in dieser zart erblühten Reine
Mir die Erde, deren Gast ich bin,
Eigentum und holde Heimat scheine.

Musik des Weltalls und Musik der Meister
Sind wir bereit in Ehrfurcht anzuhören,
Zu reiner Feier die verehrten Geister
Begnadeter Zeiten zu beschwören.
 
Wir lassen vom Geheimnis uns erheben
Der magischen Formelschrift, in deren Bann
Das Uferlose, Stürmende, das Leben
Zu klaren Gleichnissen gerann.
 
Sternbildern gleich ertönen sie kristallen,
In ihrem Dienst ward unserm Leben Sinn,
Und keiner kann aus ihren Kreisen fallen
Als nach der heiligen Mitte hin.

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.

Wie eine weiße Wolke 
Am hohen Himmel steht,
So weiß und schön und ferne
Bist du, Elisabeth.

Die Wolke geht und wandert,
Kaum hast du ihrer acht,
Und doch durch deine Träume
Geht sie in dunkler Nacht.

Geht und erglänzt so silbern,
Daß fortan ohne Rast
Du nach der weißen Wolke
Ein süßes Heimweh hast.
