Wie eine trübe Wolke Durch heitre Lüfte geht, [Wann]1 in der [Tanne]2 Wipfel Ein mattes Lüftchen weht: So zieh' ich meine Straße Dahin mit trägem Fuß, Durch helles, frohes Leben, Einsam und ohne Gruß. Ach, daß die Luft so ruhig! Ach, daß die Welt so licht! Als noch die Stürme tobten, War ich so elend nicht.
Drei Lieder für eine Singstimme mit Pianoforte , opus 18

2. Um Mitternacht [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
[Um]1 Mitternacht in ernster Stunde, Tönt oft ein wundersamer Klang: 'S ist wie aus liebem Muttermunde Ein freundlich tröstender Gesang. In süßen, unbelauschten Thränen Löst er des Herzens bange Pein, Und alles unmuthvolle Sehnen Und allen Kummer wiegt er ein. Als käm' der Mai des Lebens wieder, Regt sich's im Herzen wunderbar: Da quillen Töne, keimen Lieder, Da wird die Seele jung und klar. So tönt das stille Läuten Doch ich versteh' die Weise nie, Und nur mitunter möcht' ich's deuten Als wär's der Kindheit Melodie.
