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.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Laufeuchte Winde schweifen, Nachtvögel hört man überm Ried Mit schweren Flügeln streifen Und fern im Dorf ein Fischerlied. Aus niegewesenen Zeiten Sind trübe Sagen angestimmt Und Klagen um ewige Leiden; Weh dem, der sie bei Nacht vernimmt! Laß klagen, Kind, laß rauschen! Rings ist die Welt vom Leide schwer. Wir wollen den Vögeln lauschen Und auch dem Lied vom Dorfe her.

3. Glück
Language: German (Deutsch)
Solang du nach dem Glücke jagst, Bist du nicht reif zum Glücklichsein Und wäre alles Liebste dein. Solang du um Verlornes klagst Und Ziele hast und rastlos bist, Weißt du noch nicht, was Friede ist. Erst wenn du jedem Wunsch entsagst, Nicht Ziel mehr, noch Begehren kennst, Das Glück nicht mehr mit Namen nennst, Dann reicht dir des Geschehens Flut Nicht mehr ans Herz, und deine Seele ruht.

4. Weg nach innen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wer den Weg nach innen fand, Wer in glühndem Sichversenken Je der Weisheit Kern geahnt, Daß sein Sinn sich Gott und Welt Nur als Bild und Gleichnis wähle: Ihm wird jedes Tun und Denken Zwiegespräch mit seiner eignen Seele, Welche Welt und Gott enthält.
Text Authorship:
- by Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962), "Weg nach Innen", written 1918
