Sing mir dein liebes Wiegenlied! Seit meine Jugend von mir schied, Mag ich so gern die Weise hören. Komm zu mir, süßer Wunderklang, Nur du kannst noch die Nacht entlang Mein ruheloses Herz betören. Leg mir aufs Haar die schmale Hand Und laß von unsrem Heimatland, Von totem Ruhm und Glück uns träumen. Gleich einem Stern, der einsam zieht, Soll flackerhell dein Märchenlied Die Nächte meiner Schwermut säumen. Und stelle mir zu Häupten doch Den Rosenstrauß! Er duftet noch Und träumt sich heimwärts wehbeklommen. Ich bin ja auch so welk und schwank, Gebrochen und am Heimweh krank, Und kann nicht mehr nach Hause kommen.

2. Die Blutbuche
Language: German (Deutsch)
Eine junge Blutbuche stand Ob meiner ersten Liebe, Und als ich mein erstes Lied erfand, Sah sie zu, was ich schriebe. So wie die Blutbuche kann kein Baum In Frühlingsprächten schwelgen, Hat keiner so farbigen Sommertraum Und so ein jähes Welken. Eine junge Blutbuche steht In allen meinen Träumen, Ein vergangener Mai umweht Meinen Liebling unter den Bäumen.

3. Im Nebel
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.

- by Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962), "Im Nebel", written 1905

Language: German (Deutsch)
Über den Himmel Wolken ziehn, Über die Felder geht der Wind, Über die Felder wandert Meiner Mutter verlorenes Kind. Über die Straße Blätter wehn, Über den Bäumen Vögel schrein -- Irgendwo über den Bergen Muß meine ferne Heimat sein.
