Auf geheimem Waldespfade Schleich' ich gern im Abendschein An das öde Schilfgestade, Mädchen, und gedenke dein! Wenn sich dann der Busch verdüstert, Rauscht das Rohr geheimnisvoll, Und es klaget und es flüstert, Daß ich weinen, weinen soll. Und ich mein', ich höre wehen Leise deiner Stimme Klang, Und im Weiher untergehen Deinen lieblichen Gesang.

Drüben [geht]1 die Sonne scheiden, Und der müde Tag entschlief. [Niederhangen]2 hier die Weiden In den Teich, so still, so tief. Und ich muß mein Liebstes meiden: Quill, o Thräne, quill hervor! Traurig säuseln hier die Weiden, Und im Winde bebt das Rohr. [In mein stilles, tiefes Leiden]3 [Strahlst du, Ferne! hell und mild]4, [Wie durch Binsen hier und Weiden Strahlt des Abendsternes Bild.]5

[Trübe]1 wird's, die Wolken jagen, Und der Regen niederbricht, Und die lauten Winde klagen: Teich, wo ist dein Sternenlicht? Suchen den erloschnen Schimmer Tief im aufgewühlten See. Deine Liebe lächelt nimmer Nieder in mein tiefes Weh!

Sonnenuntergang; Schwarze Wolken zieh'n, O wie schwül und bang Alle Winde flieh'n! Durch den Himmel wild Jagen Blitze bleich; Ihr vergänglich Bild Wandelt durch den Teich. [Wie Gewitter klar]1 Mein' ich Dich zu seh'n, Und dein langes Haar Frei im Sturme weh'n!

5. Schilflieder V [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Auf dem Teich, dem Regungslosen, Weilt des Mondes holder Glanz, Flechtend seine bleichen Rosen In des Schilfes grünen Kranz. Hirsche wandeln dort am Hügel, Blicken [in]1 die Nacht empor; Manchmal regt sich das Geflügel Träumerisch im tiefen Rohr. Weinend muß mein Blick sich senken; Durch die tiefste Seele geht Mir ein süßes Deingedenken, Wie ein stilles Nachtgebet.
