Seele, banger Vogel du, Immer wieder mußt du fragen: Wann nach so viel wilden Tagen Kommt der Friede, kommt die Ruh? O ich weiß: kaum haben wir Unterm Boden stille Tage, Wird vor neuer Sehnsucht dir Jeder liebe Tag zur Plage. Und du wirst, geborgen kaum, Dich um neue Leiden mühen Und voll Ungeduld den Raum Als der jüngste Stern durchglühen.

2. Bitte [sung text checked 1 time]
Wenn du [die kleine Hand]1 mir gibst, Die so viel Ungesagtes sagt, Hab ich dich jemals dann gefragt, Ob du mich liebst? Ich will ja nicht, daß du mich liebst, Will nur, daß ich dich nahe weiß Und daß du manchmal stumm und leis Die Hand mir gibst.

3. Welkes Blatt [sung text checked 1 time]
Jede Blüte will zur Frucht, Jeder Morgen Abend werden, Ewiges ist nicht auf Erden Als der Wandel, als die Flucht. Auch der schönste Sommer will Einmal Herbst und Welke spüren. Halte, Blatt, geduldig still, Wenn der Wind dich will entführen. Spiel dein Spiel und wehr dich nicht, Laß es still geschehen. Laß vom Winde, der dich bricht, Dich nach Hause wehen.

4. Der Blütenzweig [sung text checked 1 time]
Immer [hin und wider]1 Strebt der Blütenzweig im Winde, Immer auf und nieder Strebt mein Herz gleich einem Kinde Zwischen hellen und dunklen Tagen, Zwischen Wollen und Entsagen. Bis die Blüten sind verweht Und der Zweig in Früchten steht, Bis das Herz, der Kindheit satt, Seine Ruhe hat Und bekennt: voll Lust und nicht vergebens War das unruhvolle Spiel des Lebens.

5. Abendgespräch [sung text checked 1 time]
Was blickst du träumend ins verwölkte Land? Ich gab mein Herz in deine schöne Hand. Es ist so voll von ungesagtem Glück, So heiß - hast du es nicht gefühlt? Mit fremdem Lächeln gibst du mir's zurück. Ein sanfter Schmerz ... Es schweigt. Es ist gekühlt.

6. Liebe [sung text checked 1 time]
Wieder will mein froher Mund begegnen Deinen Lippen, die mich küssend segnen, Deine lieben Finger will ich halten Und in meine Finger spielend falten, Meinen Blick an deinem dürstend füllen, Tief mein Haupt in deine Haare hüllen, Will mit immerwachen jungen Gliedern Deiner Glieder Regung treu erwidern Und aus immer neuen Liebesfeuern Deine Schönheit tausendmal erneuern, Bis wir ganz gestillt und dankbar beide Selig wohnen über allem Leide, Bis wir Tag und Nacht und Heut und Gestern Wunschlos grüßen als geliebte Schwestern, Bis wir über allem Tun und Handeln Als Verklärte ganz im Frieden wandeln.

7. 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.
