[Einmal in Kindertagen Ging ich die Wiese lang]1, Kam still getragen Im Morgenwind ein Gesang, Ein Ton in blauer Luft, Oder ein Duft, ein blumiger Duft, Der duftete süß, der klang Eine Ewigkeit lang, Meine ganze Kindheit lang. Es war mir nicht mehr bewußt -- Erst jetzt in diesen Tagen Hör ich innen in der Brust Ihn wieder verborgen schlagen. Und jetzt ist alle Welt mir einerlei, Will nicht mit den Glücklichen tauschen, Will nur lauschen, Lauschen und stillestehn, Wie die duftenden Töne gehn, Und ob es noch der Klang von damals sei.

2. Herbst [sung text checked 1 time]
Language: German (Deutsch)
[Ihr Vögel]1 im Gesträuch, Wie flattert euer Gesang Den bräunenden Wald entlang -- Ihr Vögel, sputet euch! Bald kommt der Wind, der weht, Bald kommt der Tod, der mäht, Bald kommt das graue Gespenst und lacht, Daß uns das Herz erfriert Und der Garten all seine Pracht Und das Leben all seinen Glanz verliert. Liebe Vögel im Laub, Liebe Brüderlein, Lasset uns singen und fröhlich sein, Bald sind [wir]2 Staub.

Ich wollt ich wär eine Blume, Du kämest still gegangen, Nähmst mich zum Eigentume In deine Hand gefangen. Auch wär ich gern ein roter Wein Und flösse süß durch deinen Mund Und ganz und gar in dich hinein Und machte dich und mich gesund.

Language: German (Deutsch)

5. Gute Stunde [sung text checked 1 time]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Erdbeeren glühn im Garten, Ihr Duft ist süß und voll, Mir ist, ich müsse warten, Daß durch den grünen Garten Bald meine Mutter kommen soll. Mir ist, ich bin ein Knabe, Und alles war geträumt, Was ich vertan, versäumt, Verspielt, verloren habe. Noch liegt im Gartenfrieden Die reiche Welt vor mir, Ist alles mir beschieden, Gehöret alles mir. Benommen bleib ich stehen Und wage keinen Schritt, Daß nicht die Düfte verwehen Und meine gute Stunde mit.

6. Beim Schlafengehen [sung text checked 1 time]
Language: German (Deutsch)
[Nun]1 der Tag mich [müd]2 gemacht, Soll mein sehnliches Verlangen Freundlich die gestirnte Nacht Wie ein müdes Kind empfangen. Hände, laßt von allem Tun, Stirn vergiß du alles Denken, Alle meine Sinne nun Wollen sich in Schlummer senken. Und die Seele unbewacht Will in freien Flügen schweben, Um im Zauberkreis der Nacht Tief und tausendfach zu leben.

7. Die Kindheit [sung text checked 1 time]
Language: German (Deutsch)
[Du]1 bist, mein [fernes]2 Tal, Verzaubert und versunken. Oft hast du mir in Not und Qual Empor aus deinem Schattenland gewunken Und deine Mädchenaugen aufgetan, Daß ich entzückt in kurzem Wahn Mich ganz zu dir zurück verlor. O dunkles Tor, O dunkle Todesstunde, Komm du heran, daß ich gesunde Und daß aus dieses Lebens Leere Ich heim zu meinen Träumen kehre!
