Wind im Gesträuch und Vogelpfiff Und hoch im höchsten süßen Blau Ein stilles, stolzes Wolkenschiff . . . Ich träume von einer blonden Frau, Ich träume von meiner Jugendzeit, Der hohe Himmel blau und weit Ist meiner Sehnsucht Wiege, Darin ich stillgesinnt Und selig warm Mit leisem Summen liege So wie in seiner Mutter Arm Ein Kind.

Du stehst von Sommerfreude trunken Im seligen Licht und atmest kaum, Der Himmel scheint in deinen Kelch versunken, Die Lüfte wehn in deinem Flaum. Und wenn sie alle Schuld und Pein Von meiner Seele könnten wehen, So dürft ich wohl dein Bruder sein Und stille Tage bei dir stehen. So wäre meinen Weltenfahrten Ein selig leichtes Ziel ersehn, Gleich dir durch Gottes Träumegarten Als blauer Sommertraum zu gehn.

Wie der stöhnende Wind durch die Nacht Stürmt mein Verlangen nach dir, Jede Sehnsucht ist aufgewacht -- O du, die mich krank gemacht, Was weißt du von mir! Leise lösch ich mein spätes Licht, Fiebernde Stunden zu wachen, Und die Nacht hat dein Angesicht, Und der Wind, der von Liebe spricht, Hat dein unvergeßliches Lachen!

Traurig lehnst du dein Gesicht Übers Laub, dem Tod ergeben, Atmest geisterhaftes Licht, Lässest bleiche Träume schweben. Aber innig wie Gesang, Weht im letzten leisen Schimmer, Noch den ganzen Abend lang Dein geliebter Duft durchs Zimmer. Deine kleine Seele wirbt Ängstlich um das Namenlose, Und sie lächelt, und sie stirbt Mir am Herzen, Schwester Rose.

Feierlich leiert sein Lied in den düsteren Bäumen der Regen, Über dem Waldgebirg weht schon erschauerndes Braun. Freunde, der Herbst ist nah, schon äugt er lauernd am Wald hin; Leer auch starret das Feld, nur von den Vögeln besucht. Aber am südlichen Hang reift blau am Stabe die Traube, Glut und heimlichen Trost birgt ihr gesegneter Schoß. Bald wird alles was heut' noch in Saft und rauschendem Grün steht, Bleich und frierend vergehn, sterben in Nebel und Schnee; Nur der wärmende Wein und bei Tafel der lachende Apfel Wird noch vom Sommer und Glanz sonniger Tage erglühn. So auch altert der Sinn uns und kostet im zögernden Winter, Dankbar der wärmenden Glut, gern der Erinnerung Wein, Und von zerronnener Tage verflatterten Festen und Freuden Geistern in schweigendem Tanz selige Schatten durchs Herz.

Nichts andres haben wir zu tun, Als daß wir vor dem Heilandkind Auf frommen Knieen betend ruhn. Die wir der Jungfrau Diener sind. Sieh, unser Dienst ist leicht und zart. Wir atmen still im grünen Land Der schönen Mutter Gegenwart. Und selig werden wir genannt. Und selig wirst auch du, o Christ, Der du voll dunkler Sehnsucht bist, Wenn du der Schönsten dich ergibst Und keine andre liebst.
