Die [ihr meine]1 Brüder seid, Arme Menschen nah und ferne, Die ihr im [Bezirk]2 der Sterne Tröstung träumet eurem Leid, Die ihr [wortelos]3 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.
Fünf Lieder , opus 154
by Georg Ebner (1896 - ?)

2. Frühling  [sung text checked 1 time]
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.

3. Das Glasperlenspiel  [sung text checked 1 time]
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.

4. Der Wanderer an den Tod  [sung text checked 1 time]
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.

5. Wie eine weiße Wolke  [sung text checked 1 time]
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.
