2. Botenritt  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Durch die öde Nordlandhaide 
Reit ich hin [im müden]1 Schritt;
Ohne Ende, ohne Freude,
Schweigend zieht mein Knappe mit.

Kein Geläute darf ich hören,
Keine Saaten schaun ringsum;
Hier und dort nur niedre Föhren,
Erd' und Himmel -- alles stumm! 

Kein Gebäu, kein Fels, kein Hügel,
[Nur der kühle]2 Haideduft! 
Eine Mühle dehnt die Flügel 
[Fernhin in der leeren]3 Luft.

Also bin ich hingezogen,
Müd' die Seele und die Hand;
Herzdurchwogt -- ich kenn' dies Wogen --
Heimweh heißt's im deutschen Land.

  • by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885), title 1: "Heimweh", title 2: "Botenritt", appears in Neue Hochlands-Lieder, in 10. Unterwegs

3. Schliesse mir die Augen beide  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Schließe mir]1 die Augen beide
mit den lieben Händen zu;
geht doch alles, was ich leide,
unter deiner Hand zur Ruh.
Und wie leise sich der Schmerz
Well' [um]2 Welle schlafen [leget]3,
[wie]4 der letzte Schlag sich [reget]5,
füllest du mein ganzes Herz.
