In dämmrigen Grüften Träumte ich lang Von deinen Bäumen und blauen Lüften, Von deinem Duft und Vogelsang. Nun liegst du erschlossen In Gleiß und Zier, Von Licht übergossen Wie ein Wunder vor mir. Du kennst mich wieder, Du [lockest]1 mich zart, Es zittert durch all meine Glieder Deine selige Gegenwart.

2. Die frühe Stunde [sung text checked 1 time]
Silbern überflogen Ruhet das Feld und schweigt, Ein Jäger hebt seinen Bogen, Der Wald rauscht und eine Lerche steigt. Der Wald rauscht und eine zweite Steigt auf und fällt. Ein Jäger hebt seine Beute Und der Tag tritt in die Welt.

3. 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.

4. August [sung text checked 1 time]
Das war des Sommers schönster Tag,
Nun klingt er vor dem stillen Haus
In Duft und süßem Vogelschlag
Unwiederbringlich leise aus.
In dieser Stunde goldnen Born
Gießt schwelgerisch in roter Pracht
Der Sommer aus sein volles Horn
Und feiert seine letzte Nacht.

5. Gang bei Nacht [sung text checked 1 time]
Busch und Wiese, Feld und Baum Stehen in begnügtem Schweigen, Jeder ganz sich selbst zu eigen, Jeder tief in seinem Traum. Wolke schwebt und lichter Stern, Wie zu hoher Wacht berufen, Und der Berg mit steilen Stufen Türmt sich dunkel, hoch und fern. Alles weilt und hat Bestand, Ich allein mit meinen Schmerzen Treibe fern von Gottes Herzen Weiter ohne Sinn durchs Land.
