Flügelt ein kleiner blauer Falter vom Wind geweht, Ein perlmutterner Schauer, Glitzert, flimmert, vergeht. So mit Augenblicksblinken, So im Vorüberwehn Sah ich das Glück mir winken, Glitzern, flimmern, [vergehn]1.

2. Blume, Baum, Vogel [sung text checked 1 time]
Bist allein im Leeren, Glühst einsam, Herz, Grüßt dich am Abgrund Dunkle Blume Schmerz. Reckt seine Äste Der hohe Baum Leid, Singt in den Zweigen Vogel Ewigkeit. Blume Schmerz ist schweigsam, Findet kein Wort, Der Baum wächst bis in die Wolken, Und der Vogel singt immerfort.

3. Der Wanderer an den Tod [sung text checked 1 time]
Auch zu mir kommst du einmal, Du vergißt mich nicht, Und zu Ende ist die Qual Und die Kette bricht. Noch erscheinst du fremd und fern, Lieber Bruder Tod. Stehest als ein kühler Stern Über meiner Not. Aber einmal wirst du nah Und voll Flammen sein -- Komm, Geliebter, ich bin da, Nimm mich, ich bin dein.

4. Der Tod ging nachts durch eine Stadt [sung text checked 1 time]
Der Tod ging nachts durch eine Stadt. Ein Fenster war noch rot im Dach, Dort saß ob einem Verseblatt Ein kranker Dichter spät noch wach. Der Tod stieß leis das Fenster ein Und blies die trübe Ampel aus. Ein Hauch, ein Blick, ein Lächelschein, Und dunkel wurde Stadt und Haus.

5. Jenseits des Sankt Gotthard [sung text checked 1 time]
Hallo, nun brennt mir wieder Die Sonne auf den Hut, Und jüngt mir alle Glieder Und heizt mein träges Blut. Ihr Burschen und ihr Frauen Im Land Italia, Ich werde euch wiederschauen, Ich bin euch selig nah. Ihr Bursche, nun will ich zechen Mit euch den schwarzen Wein Und wieder bei Singen und Stechen Euch Kamerade sein. Ihr Frauen von Rom und Venedig, Nun fallet mir um den Hals, Ich bin noch so jung und ledig Und lustig wie ehemals!

6. Nacht [sung text checked 1 time]
Ich habe meine Kerze ausgelöscht; Zum offenen Fenster strömt die Nacht herein, Umarmt mich sanft und läßt mich ihren Freund Und ihren Bruder sein. Wir beide sind am selben Heimweh krank; Wir senden ahnungsvolle Träume aus Und reden flüsternd von der alten Zeit In unsres Vaters Haus.

7. Spät auf der Straße [sung text checked 1 time]
Laternen spiegeln durch die Nacht Im nassen Straßenpflaster -- In dieser späten Stunde wacht Nur noch die Not und das Laster. Ich grüße euch, die ihr wachet, Euch, die ihr liegt in Not und Leid, Euch, die ihr lärmet und lachet Und die ihr alle meine Brüder seid.
