So mußt Du allen Dingen Bruder und Schwester sein, Daß sie dich ganz durchdringen, Daß du nicht scheidest Mein und Dein. Kein Stern, kein Laub soll fallen -- Du mußt mit ihm vergehn! So wirst du auch mit allen Allstündlich auferstehn.
Sechs Lieder für Mezzosopran aus: Hermann Hesse, "Vom Baum des Lebens" und "Musik des Einsamen"

2. Weiße Rose in der Dämmerung [sung text checked 1 time]
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.

3. Schmetterling [sung text checked 1 time]
Flügelt ein kleiner blauer Falter vom Wind geweht, Ein perlmutterner Schauer, Glitzert, flimmert, vergeht. So mit Augenblicksblinken, So im Vorüberwehn Sah ich das Glück mir winken, Glitzern, flimmern, [vergehn]1.

4. September [sung text checked 1 time]
Der Garten trauert, Kühl sinkt in die Blumen der Regen. Der Sommer schauert Still seinem Ende entgegen. Golden tropft Blatt um Blatt Nieder vom hohen Akazienbaum. Sommer lächelt erstaunt und matt In den sterbenden Gartentraum. Lange noch bei den Rosen Bleibt er stehen, sehnt sich nach Ruh. Langsam tut er die großen Müdgewordnen Augen zu.

5. Auf Wanderung [sung text checked 1 time]
[Sei]1 nicht traurig, bald ist es Nacht, Da sehn wir über dem bleichen Land Den kühlen Mond, wie er heimlich lacht Und ruhen Hand in Hand. Sei nicht traurig, bald kommt die Zeit, Da haben wir Ruh. [Unsre]2 Kreuzlein stehen Am hellen Straßenrande zu zweit, Und es regnet und schneit, Und die Winde kommen und gehen.

6. Zusammenhang [sung text checked 1 time]
[Aus lang verschwundener]1 Völker Lieder her Klingt oft ein Ton verwandt uns bis ins Herz, Daß wir betroffen und mit halbem Schmerz Hinüberlauschen, ob dort Heimat wär. [So auch ist]2 unsres Herzschlags Ab und Auf In festem Bann geknüpft ans Herz der Welt, Das unsern Schlaf und unser Wachen hält Im Einklang mit der Sonn' und Sterne Lauf. Und unsrer wildesten Wünsche trübe Flut Und unsrer frechsten Träume Fieberbrand Ist Geist vom Urgeist, der noch nie geruht. So gehn wir, unsre Fackeln in der Hand, Gezeugt, genährt von uralt heilger Glut Und ewig neuen Sonnen zugewandt.
