Lange waren meine Augen müd Und vom Rauch der Städte bang verschleiert, Nun erwacht ich schaudernd. Feste feiert Jeder Baum und jeder Garten blüht. Wieder wie ich einst als Knabe sah, Seh ich fröhlich durch die sanften Weiten Engel ihre weißen Flügel breiten Und die Augen Gottes blau und nah.

2. Frühlingstag
Wind im Gesträuch und Vogelpfiff Und hoch im höchsten süßen Blau Ein stilles, stolzes Wolkenschiff . . . Ich träume von einer blonden Frau, Ich träume von meiner Jugendzeit, Der hohe Himmel blau und weit Ist meiner Sehnsucht Wiege, Darin ich stillgesinnt Und selig warm Mit leisem Summen liege So wie in seiner Mutter Arm Ein Kind.

Sonne, leuchte mir ins Herz hinein, Wind, verweh mir Sorgen und Beschwerden! Tiefere Wonne weiß ich nicht auf Erden, Als im Weiten unterwegs zu sein. Nach der Ebene nehm ich meinen Lauf, Sonne soll mich sengen, Meer mich kühlen; Unsrer Erde Leben mitzufühlen, Tu ich alle Sinne festlich auf. Und so soll mir jeder neue Tag Neue Freunde, neue Brüder weisen, Bis ich leidlos alle Kräfte preisen, Aller Sterne Gast und Freund sein mag.

Nun der Tag mich müd 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.

Es führen über die Erde Straßen und Wege viel, Aber alle haben Dasselbe Ziel. Du kannst reiten und fahren Zu zweien und zu drein, Den letzten Schritt mußt du Gehen allein. Drum ist kein Wissen Noch Können so gut, Als daß man alles Schwere Alleine tut.
