Sei 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 Kreuzlein stehen Am hellen Straßenrande zu zweit, Und es regnet und schneit, Und die Winde kommen und gehen.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Ein Hof liegt in der stillen Nacht, Ein Bauernhof, drin keiner wacht Und keiner wache Nächte kennt. Ein Heimatzauber kommt von dir Und weht in die Gedanken mir Den Frieden, den kein Name nennt.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Es hält der blaue Tag Für eine Stunde auf der Höhe Rast. Sein Licht hält jedes Ding umfaßt, Wie man's in Träumen sehen mag: Daß schattenlos die Welt, In Blau und Gold gewiegt, In lauter Duft und reifem Frieden liegt. -- Wenn auf dies Bild ein Schatten fällt! -- Kaum hast du es gedacht, So ist die goldene1 Stunde Aus ihrem leichten Traum1 erwacht, Und bleicher wird, indes sie stiller lacht, Und kühler wird die Sonne in der Runde.

4. Über den Himmel
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.
