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.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Über den Himmel Wolken ziehn, Über die Felder geht der Wind, Über die Felder wandert Meiner Mutter verlorenes Kind. Über die Straße Blätter wehn, Über den Bäumen Vögel schrein -- Irgendwo über den Bergen Muß meine ferne Heimat sein.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Wie eine weiße Wolke Am hohen Himmel steht, So weiß und schön und ferne Bist du, Elisabeth. Die Wolke geht und wandert, Kaum hast du ihrer acht, Und doch durch deine Träume Geht sie in dunkler Nacht. Geht und erglänzt so silbern, Daß fortan ohne Rast Du nach der weißen Wolke Ein süßes Heimweh hast.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Es war noch Zeit; ich konnte gehn, Und alles wäre ungeschehn, Und alles wäre rein und klar, Wie es vor jenem Tage war! Es mußte sein. Die Stunde kam, Die kurze, schwüle, und sie nahm Unwandelbar mit jähem Schritt Den ganzen Glanz der Jugend mit.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Tief mit blauer Nachtgewalt, Die mein Herz erhellt, Bricht aus jähem Wolkenspalt Mond und Sternenwelt. Seele flammt aus ihrer Gruft Lodernd aufgeschürt, Da im bleichen Sternenduft Nacht die Harfe rührt. Sorge flieht und Not wird klein, Seit der Ruf geschah. Mag ich morgen nicht mehr sein, Heute bin ich da!

Language: German (Deutsch)
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.
