Das war des Sommers schönster Tag, Nun klingt er vor dem stillen Haus In Duft und süßem Vogelschlag Unwiederbringlich leise aus. In dieser Stunde goldnen Born Gießt schwelgerisch in roter Pracht Der Sommer aus sein volles Horn Und feiert seine letzte Nacht.

2. Zunachten  [sung text checked 1 time]
Laufeuchte Winde schweifen, Nachtvögel hört man überm Ried Mit schweren Flügeln streifen Und fern im Dorf ein Fischerlied. Aus niegewesenen Zeiten Sind trübe Sagen angestimmt Und Klagen um ewige Leiden; Weh dem, der sie bei Nacht vernimmt! Laß klagen, Kind, laß rauschen! Rings ist die Welt vom Leide schwer. Wir wollen den Vögeln lauschen Und auch dem Lied vom Dorfe her.

3. Ähren im Sturm  [sung text checked 1 time]
O wie der Sturm so dunkel braust! Wir neigen ängstlich und zerzaust Uns tief vor seiner schauerlichen Macht Und bleiben zitternd wach die ganze Nacht. Wenn wir morgen noch leben werden, O wie wird dann der Himmel tagen Und warme Luft und Geläut von Herden Selige Wellen über uns schlagen!

4. Spätblau  [sung text checked 1 time]
O reine, [wundervolle]1 Schau, Wenn du aus Purpurrot und Gold Dich ebnest friedvoll, ernst und hold, Du leuchtendes Späthimmelblau! Du mahnst an eine blaue See, Darauf das Glück vor Anker hält Zu seliger Rast. Vom Ruder fällt Der letzte Tropfen Erdenweh.

5. Eine rote Sonne liegt  [sung text checked 1 time]
Eine rote Sonne liegt In des Teiches tiefen Fluten, Ein verirrter Falter fliegt Über Schilf und Weidenruten. Alles, was mein Herz verlor, Jugendmut und Kinderfrieden, Schlummert hier im gelben Rohr, Einsam, stumm, weltabgeschieden. Wie ein breites Abendrot Liegt mein Leben und mein Leiden, Ruhig wie ein dunkles Boot Meine Träume drüber gleiten. Über meinen wilden Sinn Ist ein Frieden ausgegossen; Was ich war und was ich bin, Ist in einen Traum zerflossen.

7. Frühling  [sung text checked 1 time]
In dämmrigen Grüften Träumte ich lang Von deinen Bäumen und blauen Lüften, Von deinem Duft und Vogelsang. Nun liegst du erschlossen In Gleiß und Zier, Von Licht übergossen Wie ein Wunder vor mir. Du kennst mich wieder, Du [lockest]1 mich zart, Es zittert durch all meine Glieder Deine selige Gegenwart.
