Drei Gedichte von Hermann Hesse

Song Cycle by Fritz Müller (1889 - 1949)

1. Das Wiedersehen
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Da schon die Sonne sich verbarg
Und in die fahlen Berge sank,
Der rauhe Wind im gelben Park
Mit Laub bedeckte Weg und Bank,
Da sah ich dich und sahst du mich;
Du rittest still dein dunkles Roß
Und rittest still und feierlich
Durch Wind und Blätterfall zum Schloß.

Das war ein traurig Wiedersehn:
Du rittest blaß und langsam fort,
Ich blieb am hohen Gitter stehn,
Es dunkelte, und keines sprach ein Wort.

Text Authorship:

  • by Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962), "Das Wiedersehen", written 1899

2. Rücknahme 
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich sagte nicht: ich liebe dich.
Ich sagte nur: gib mir die Hand
Und dulde mich!

Mir schien, du wärest mir verwandt,
Du wärst so jung und gut, wie ich...
- Ich sagte nicht: ich liebe dich.

3. Huldigung
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schöne, Liebe, die du alle Klagen
Meiner ruhelosen Seele stillst,
Alles Schwere will ich gerne tragen,
Wenn nur du mich nicht verlassen willst.

Meiner heißen Jugend Flammen steigen
Jeden Tag zu einem wilden Brand,
Um sich dankbar und beglückt zu neigen
Einem Winke deiner weißen Hand.
