Wenn du die kleine Hand mir gibst, Die so viel Ungesagtes sagt, Hab ich dich jemals dann gefragt, Ob du mich liebst? Ich will ja nicht, daß du mich liebst, Will nur, daß ich dich nahe weiß Und daß du manchmal stumm und leis Die Hand mir gibst.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Darf ich dir sagen, daß du mir Wie eine schöne Schwester scheinst Und leises Glück mit Lustbegier In meiner Seele seltsam einst? Und daß wir beide Gäste sind Von ferneher, und daß wir beiden, Sobald die dunkle Nacht beginnt, Dasselbe bange Heimweh leiden?

Language: German (Deutsch)
Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern! Einsam ist jeder Busch und Stein, Kein Baum sieht den andern, Jeder ist allein. Voll Freunden war mir die Welt, Als noch mein Leben licht war; Nun, da der Nebel fällt, Ist keiner mehr sichtbar. Wahrlich, keiner ist weise, Der nicht das Dunkel kennt, Das unentrinnbar und leise Von allen ihn trennt. Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern! Leben ist Einsamsein. Kein Mensch kennt den andern, Jeder ist allein.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Wie eine weiße Wolke Am hohen Himmel steht, So weiß und schön und ferne Bist du, Elisabeth. Die Wolke geht und wandert, Kaum hast du ihrer acht, Und doch durch deine Träume Geht sie in dunkler Nacht. Geht und erglänzt so silbern, Daß fortan ohne Rast Du nach der weißen Wolke Ein süßes Heimweh hast.
