Schilt nicht! Ich kann nicht beten, Ich will nur im Vorübergehn An deine Stufen treten Und deine Augen sehn. Es ist ein reines Glänzen Um deine Stirn, das mich beglückt; Ich habe sie ja mit Kränzen Als Kind so oft geschmückt.
Hesse-Lieder für mittlere Stimme mit Klavier- oder Orgelbegleitung, Heft 3: Marienlieder

Language: German (Deutsch)
Deinem Blick darf meiner nicht begegnen, Meine Seele, die so viel gelitten, Darf gebeugt nicht mehr die deine bitten: Wolle die verlorene Schwester segnen! Leise nur im allertiefsten Innern Will sie der gewesenen Schwesterzeiten, Der in Schmach verspielten Seligkeiten, Schweigend und mit Schmerzen sich erinnern.

3. Gebet
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wenn ich einmal vor deinem Antlitz stehe, Dann denke, wie du mich allein gelassen, Und denke, wie ich irrend in den Gassen Verwaist und trostlos war in meinem Wehe. Dann denke jener schrecklich dunklen Nächte, Da ich in Not und heißem Heimweh bangte Und wie ein Kind nach deiner Hand verlangte Und da du mir versagtest deine Rechte. Und denke jener Zeit, da ich als Knabe Zu dir zurück an jedem Tage kehrte, Und meiner Mutter, die mich beten lehrte Und der ich mehr als dir zu danken habe.

- by Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962), "Gebet", subtitle: "(1901)", written 1901, appears in Neue deutsche Lyriker III , in Irrwege, first published 1919
