Über [den Himmel]1 Wolken [ziehn]2, Über die Felder [geht]3 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.

2. Reiselied  [sung text checked 1 time]
Sonne, [leuchte]1 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.

3. Im Nebel  [sung text checked 1 time]
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]1 und leise Von allen ihn trennt. Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern! Leben ist [Einsamsein]2. Kein Mensch kennt den andern, Jeder ist allein.
