Im Grase hingestreckt Lausch ich der Halme zartem Wald, Der flüstert wirr und hat mir bald Den Himmel fast verdeckt. Es kommt die Zeit heran, Da weiß ich nichts von Leide mehr Und schmerzt es heute noch so sehr, Alsdann ist es vertan. Dann kreist mein heißes Blut Gekühlt und licht in Halm und Klee, Und dieser Stunde grimmes Weh Ist still, ist kühl, ist gut.
Lieder nach Hermann Hesse , opus 22
by Egon Kornauth (1891 - 1959)

2. Böse Zeit  [sung text checked 1 time]
Nun sind wir still Und singen keine Lieder mehr. Der Schritt wird schwer. Das ist die Nacht, die kommen will. Gib mir die Hand, Vielleicht ist unser Weg noch weit. Es schneit, es schneit. Hart ist der Winter in dem fremden Land. Wo ist die Zeit Da uns ein Licht, ein Herd gebrannt? Gib mir die Hand, Vielleicht ist unser Weg noch weit.

3. Oktober  [sung text checked 1 time]
In ihrem [schönsten]1 Kleide Stehn alle Bäume gelb und rot, Sie sterben einen leichten Tod, Sie wissen nichts von Leide. Herbst, kühle mir das heiße Herz, Daß es gelinder schlage Und still durch goldene Tage Hinüberspiele winterwärts.

4. Im Nebel  [sung text checked 1 time]
Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern! Einsam ist jeder Busch und Stein, Kein Baum sieht den andern, Jeder ist allein. Voll Freunden war mir die Welt, Als noch mein Leben licht war; Nun, da der Nebel fällt, Ist keiner mehr sichtbar. Wahrlich, keiner ist weise, Der nicht das Dunkel kennt, Das [unentrinnbar]1 und leise Von allen ihn trennt. Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern! Leben ist [Einsamsein]2. Kein Mensch kennt den andern, Jeder ist allein.

5. Drüben  [sung text checked 1 time]
Drüben überm Berge Streut sein Licht der fahle Mond, Dort in ewiger Mondesnacht Meine tote Jugend wohnt. Drüben überm Berge Bei dem Grab der Königin Geht verhärmt im Geisterschritt Meine tote Liebe hin. Drüben überm Berge Wo die kühlen Tempel sind, Schluchzt vor meinen toten Göttern Ein verirrt Gebet im Wind.
