[Es führen über die Erde]1 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]2 Können so gut, Als daß man alles Schwere Alleine tut.

2. Welkes Blatt [sung text checked 1 time]
Jede Blüte will zur Frucht, Jeder Morgen Abend werden, Ewiges ist nicht auf Erden Als der Wandel, als die Flucht. Auch der schönste Sommer will Einmal Herbst und Welke spüren. Halte, Blatt, geduldig still, Wenn der Wind dich will entführen. Spiel dein Spiel und wehr dich nicht, Laß es still geschehen. Laß vom Winde, der dich bricht, Dich nach Hause wehen.

3. 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.
