Drei Lieder für Tenor aus "Gertrud"

Daß bei jedem Föhn
Vom Berge die Lawine rollt
Mit Sausen und Todesgetön --
Hat das Gott gewollt?

Daß ich ohne jeden Gruß
Durch der Menschen Land
Fremd wandern muss,
Kommt das von Gottes Hand?

Sieht Er in Herzensnot
Und Qual mich schweben?
- Ach, Gott ist tot!
Und ich soll leben?

Ich habe meine Kerze ausgelöscht;
Zum offenen Fenster strömt die Nacht herein,
Umarmt mich sanft und läßt mich ihren Freund
Und ihren Bruder sein.

Wir beide sind am selben Heimweh krank;
Wir senden ahnungsvolle Träume aus
Und reden flüsternd von der alten Zeit
In unsres Vaters Haus.

Der Föhn schreit jede Nacht,
Sein feuchter Flügel flattert schwer.
Brachvögel taumeln durch die Luft.
Nun schläft nichts mehr,
Nun ist das ganze Land erwacht,
Der Frühling ruft.

In diesen Nächten schlaf ich nicht.
Mein Herz wird jung,
Aus blauen Tiefen der Erinnerung
Steigt meiner Jugend heißes Glück,
Schaut mir so nahe ins Gesicht,
Erschrickt, und flieht zurück.

Bleib still, bleib still, mein Herz!
Ob auch im Blute eng und schwer
Die Leidenschaft sich rührt
Und dich die alten Wege führt --
Nicht jugendwärts 
Gehn deine Wege mehr.
