Sieben Lieder nach Gedichten von Hermann Hesse

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.

Spät auf staubiger Straße geh ich,
Mauerschatten fallen schräg,
Und durch Rebenranken seh ich
Mondlicht über Bach und Weg.

Lieder, die ich einst gesungen,
Stimm ich leise wieder an,
Ungezählter Wanderungen
Schatten kreuzen meine Bahn.

Wind und Schnee und Sonnenhitze
Vieler Jahre klingt mir nach,
Sommernacht und blaue Blitze,
Sturm und Reiseungemach.

Braun gebrannt und vollgesogen
Von der Fülle dieser Welt,
Fühl ich weiter mich gezogen,
Bis mein Pfad ins Dunkle fällt.

Alle meine Jugendzeit
Bin ich Lüsten nachgegangen,
Um danach voll Düsterkeit
Leid und Schmerzen nachzuhangen.

Schmerz und Lüste sind mir nun
Ganz verschwistert und durchdrungen;
Ob sie wohl, ob wehe tun,
Beides ist in eins verschlungen.

Ob mich Gott durch Höllenschrei,
Ob durch Sonnenhimmel führe,
Beides gilt mir einerlei,
Wenn ich seine Hand nur spüre.

Vor mir her getrieben
Weht ein welkes Blatt.
Wandern, Jungsein und Lieben
Seine Zeit und sein Ende hat.

Das Blatt irrt ohne Gleise
Wohin der Wind es will,
Hält erst in Wald und Moder still . . .
Wohin geht meine Reise?

Der Schäfer mit den Schafen
Zieht durch die stillen Gassen ein,
Die Häuser wollen schlafen
Und dämmern schon und nicken ein.

Ich bin in diesen Mauern
Der einzige fremde Mann zur Stund,
Es trinkt mein Herz mit Trauern
Den Kelch der Sehnsucht bis zum Grund.

Wohin der Weg mich führet,
Hat überall ein Herd gebrannt;
Nur ich hab nie gespüret,
Was Heimat ist und Vaterland.

Es führen über die Erde 
Straßen und Wege viel,
Aber alle haben 
Dasselbe Ziel.

Du kannst reiten und fahren 
Zu zweien und zu drein,
Den letzten Schritt mußt du
Gehen allein.

Drum ist kein Wissen 
Noch Können so gut,
Als daß man alles Schwere 
Alleine tut.

Wieder schreitet er den braunen Pfad
Von den stürmeklaren Berge nieder,
Wieder quellen, wo der Schöne naht,
Liebe Blumen auf und Vogellieder.

Wieder auch verführt er meinen Sinn,
Daß in dieser zart erblühten Reine
Mir die Erde, deren Gast ich bin,
Eigentum und holde Heimat scheine.
