[Es führen über die Erde]1 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]2 Können so gut, Als daß man alles Schwere Alleine tut.

2. Ich soll erzählen  [sung text checked 1 time]
Ich soll erzählen, Die Nacht ist schon spät - Willst du mich quälen, Schöne Elisabeth? Daran ich dichte Und du dazu, Meine Liebesgeschichte Ist dieser Abend und du. Du mußt nicht stören, Die Reime verwehn. Bald wirst du sie hören, Hören und nicht verstehn.

3. Wenn auch der Abend kalt und traurig ist  [sung text checked 1 time]
Wenn auch der Abend kalt und traurig ist Und Regen rauscht, Ich singe doch mein Lied in dieser Frist, Weiß nicht, wer lauscht. Wenn auch die Welt in [Krieg und Angst]1 erstickt, An manchem Ort Brennt heimlich doch, ob niemand sie erblickt, Die Liebe fort.

4. Ich liebe Frauen, die vor tausend Jahren  [sung text checked 1 time]
Ich liebe Frauen, die vor tausend Jahren Geliebt von Dichtern und besungen waren. Ich liebe Städte, deren leere Mauern Königsgeschlechter alter Zeit betrauern. Ich liebe Städte, die erstehen werden, Wenn niemand mehr von heute lebt auf Erden. Ich liebe Frauen -- schlanke, wunderbare, Die ungeboren ruhn im Schoß der Jahre. Sie werden einst mit ihrer sternebleichen Schönheit der Schönheit meiner Träume gleichen.

5. Gang am Abend  [sung text checked 1 time]
Spät auf staubiger Straße geh ich, Mauerschatten fallen schräg, Und durch Rebenranken seh ich Mondlicht über Bach und Weg. Lieder, die ich einst gesungen, Stimm ich leise wieder an, Ungezählter Wanderungen Schatten kreuzen meine Bahn. Wind und Schnee und Sonnenhitze Vieler Jahre [klingt]1 mir nach, Sommernacht und blaue Blitze, Sturm und Reiseungemach. Braun gebrannt und vollgesogen Von der Fülle dieser Welt, Fühl ich weiter mich gezogen, Bis mein Pfad ins Dunkle fällt.
