Frühlinge und Sommer steigen Grün herauf und singen Lieder, Schmücken bunt die Welt, und neigen Müde sich zur Erde wieder. Träumend aus dem Kranz der Tage Grüßen flüchtig helle Stunden Mir herauf wie schöne Sage, Lächeln, leuchten, sind verschwunden. Schauernd in der Tage Wende, Mag auch Gold und Liebe winken, Lassen traurig meine Hände Die geschmückte Leier sinken.

2. Dorfabend [sung text checked 1 time]
Der Schäfer mit den Schafen Zieht durch die stillen Gassen ein, Die Häuser wollen schlafen Und dämmern schon und nicken ein. Ich bin in diesen Mauern Der einzige fremde Mann zur Stund, Es trinkt mein Herz mit Trauern Den Kelch der Sehnsucht bis zum Grund. Wohin der Weg mich führet, Hat überall ein Herd gebrannt; Nur ich hab nie gespüret, Was Heimat ist und Vaterland.
