Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern! Einsam ist jeder Busch und Stein, Kein Baum sieht den andern, Jeder ist allein. Voll Freunden war mir die Welt, Als noch mein Leben licht war; Nun, da der Nebel fällt, Ist keiner mehr sichtbar. Wahrlich, keiner ist weise, Der nicht das Dunkel kennt, Das unentrinnbar und leise Von allen ihn trennt. Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern! Leben ist Einsamsein. Kein Mensch kennt den andern, Jeder ist allein.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Kennst du das auch, daß manches Mal Inmitten einer lauten Lust, Bei einem Fest, in einem frohen Saal, Du plötzlich schweigen und hinweggehn mußt? Denn legst du dich aufs Lager ohne Schlaf Wie Einer, den ein plötzlich Heimweh traf; Lust und Gelächter ist verstiebt wie Rauch, Du weinst, weinst ohne Halt -- Kennst du das auch?

Language: German (Deutsch)
Immer wieder wird er Mensch geboren, spricht zu frommen, spricht zu tauben Ohren, kommt uns nah und geht uns neu verloren. Immer wieder muss er einsam ragen, aller Brüder Not und Sehnsucht tragen, immer wird er neu ans Kreuz geschlagen. Immer wieder will sich Gott verkünden, will das Himmlische ins Tal der Sünden, will ins Fleisch der Geist, der ewige, münden. Immer wieder, auch in diesen Tagen, ist der Heiland unterwegs zu segnen, unseren Ängsten, Tränen, Fragen, Klagen mit dem stillen Blicke zu begegnen, den wir doch nicht zu erwidern wagen, weil nur Kinderaugen ihn ertragen.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Ein Haus bei Nacht durch Strauch und Baum Ein Fenster leise schimmern ließ, Und dort im unsichtbaren Raum Ein Flötenspieler stand und blies. Es war ein Lied so altbekannt, Es floß so gütig in die Nacht, Als wäre Heimat jedes Land, Als wäre jeder Weg vollbracht. Es war der Welt geheimer Sinn In seinem Atem offenbart, Und willig gab das Herz sich hin Und alle Zeit ward Gegenwart.
