Im Garten meiner Mutter steht Ein weißer Birkenbaum. Ein leiser Wind im Laube geht, So leis, man hört ihn kaum. Meine Mutter in den Wegen geht Mit Trauer her und hin. Und in Gedanken suchen geht, Sie weiß nicht wo ich bin. Mich treibet eine dunkle Schuld Umher in Schmach und Not. Mein Mütterlein, hab Du Geduld Und denk, ich wäre tot.
Hesse-Lieder für mittlere Stimme, Heft 1
Song Cycle by Reinhold Laquai (1894 - 1957)

Language: German (Deutsch)
Ein Traum: du stehest fern und still, Es schlägt mein Herz beklommen -- O Mutter, Mutter kannst du nicht Zu mir herüberkommen? Und jede Nacht derselbe Traum! Es schluchzt mein Herz beklommen -- O Mutter, warum willst du nicht Zu mir herüberkommen?

3. Sternklare Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch)
Meine Seele, kannst du nicht beten? Sieh, wie die Sterne wunderbar Aus der gewölbten Bläue treten. Und droben leuchten schön und klar. Das sind die Lichter deren Glänzen Dich ehemals so tief entzückt. Und die du mit den bunten Kränzen Verliebter Lieder hast geschmückt. Ich fühle wohl wie du bezwungen Vor der gestirnten Nacht dich neigst -- Sind deine Lieder alle versungen, O meine Seele, daß du schweigst?

Language: German (Deutsch)
O schau, sie schweben wieder Wie leise Melodien Vergessener schöner Lieder Am blauen Himmel hin! Kein Herz kann sie verstehen, Dem nicht auf langer Fahrt Ein Wissen von allen Wehen Und Freuden des Wanderns ward. Ich liebe die Weißen, Losen Wie Sonne, Meer und Wind, Weil sie der Heimatlosen Schwestern und Engel sind.
