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.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Eines Dichters Traumgerank Mag sich feiner nicht verzweigen, Leichter nicht dem Winde neigen, Edler nicht ins Blaue steigen. Zärtlich, jung und überschlank Lässest du die lichten, langen Zweige mit verhaltnem Bangen Jedem Hauche regbar hangen. Also wiegend leis und schwank Willst du mir mit deinen feinen Schauern einer zärtlich reinen Jugendliebe Gleichnis scheinen.

3. An die Schönheit
Language: German (Deutsch)
Gib uns deine milde Hand! Von der Mutter Hand gerissen Irren wir in Finsternissen Kinder durch ein fremdes Land. Manchmal wenn es dunkel war, Schenkte eine Heimatweise Deiner Stimme wunderbar Licht und Trost der bangen Reise. Wandrer ohne Ziel und Pfad Irren wir in dunklen Weiten; Wolle du uns gnädig leiten, Bis der große Morgen naht!
