Fünf Lieder nach der chinesischen Flöte

Song Cycle by Hans Erich Apostel (1901 - 1972)

In der Fremde

Language: German (Deutsch) 
In fremdem Lande lag ich. 
Weißen Glanz malte der Mond 
vor meine Lagerstätte. 

Ich hob das Haupt, ich meinte erst, 
es sei der Reif der Frühe, 
was ich schimmern sah, 
dann aber wußte ich:
der Mond, der Mond, 
und neigte das Gesicht zur Erde hin.
Und meine Heimat winkte mir von fern.
