Language: German (Deutsch)
Es wird dir sonderbar erscheinen, Daß ich zuweilen wie ein Knabe Nicht schlafen kann vor lautem Weinen Und bitterlich das Heimweh habe, Und daß ich tagelang in Träumen Hinschlendre mit geheimem Leid An fremden, stillen Gartensäumen, Gedenkend meiner Kinderzeit ...

3. Huldigung
Language: German (Deutsch)
Schöne, Liebe, die du alle Klagen Meiner ruhelosen Seele stillst, Alles Schwere will ich gerne tragen, Wenn nur du mich nicht verlassen willst. Meiner heißen Jugend Flammen steigen Jeden Tag zu einem wilden Brand, Um sich dankbar und beglückt zu neigen Einem Winke deiner weißen Hand.

4. Mit einem Liederheft

Nun bückst du dich nieder Und machst die Schleife los, Nun liegen meine Lieder In deinem seidenen Schoß. Nun treten die Fehle Einer vergangenen Zeit Vor deine erschrockene Seele. Ich aber reise schon weit.
