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.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Eine Glocke läutet Im Grund fernab, Läutet und bedeutet Ein frisches Grab. Ein Lautenschlagen Vom andern Tal Bringt hergetragen Der Wind zumal. Mir aber will bedeuten: Liedsang und Sterbeläuten Ist recht für einen Wandrer Zusammengestimmt. Mich wundert, ob ein andrer Die beiden zumal vernimmt?

Language: German (Deutsch)
In Welschland, wo die braunen Buben vom Straßenrand In die heiße Bläue staunen, Da bin ich wohl bekannt. Dort wachsen schwarze Bäume Wie Fackeln steil und schlank, Die machen dir alle Träume Von welscher Liebe krank. Dort schlagen blaue Wellen An goldig braunen Stein, Dir fallen dabei viel Stellen Aus den schönsten Liedern ein. Und wo drei Bäume stehen, Das nennen sie einen Wald, Darunter siehst du gehen Manch schöne Frauengestalt. Und wenn dir eine gegeben Einen Kuß auf deinen Mund, So bist du krank fürs Leben Und wirst nicht mehr gesund.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Im alten loderlohen Glanze, In aller schwelgerischen Pracht Steigt heute vor dir auf der ganze Traum jener schwülen Sommernacht. Und zitternd in verträumten Lüsten Drückst du verzweifelt, heiß und wild Die vollen, schönen, oftgeküßten, Blutroten Lippen auf mein Bild.
