Der Himmel gewittert, Im Garten steht Eine Linde und zittert. Es ist schon spät. Ein Wetterleuchten Beschaut sich bleich Mit großen, feuchten Augen im Teich. Auf schwanken Stengeln Die Blumen stehn, Hören Sensendengeln Herüberwehn. Der Himmel gewittert, Schwül geht ein Hauch. Mein Mädel zittert -- "Sag, spürst du's auch?"

2. Das treibende Blatt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Vor mir her getrieben Weht ein welkes Blatt. Wandern, Jungsein und Lieben Seine Zeit und sein Ende hat. Das Blatt irrt ohne Gleise Wohin der Wind es will, Hält erst in Wald und Moder still . . . Wohin geht meine Reise?

Language: German (Deutsch)
Wald läßt die Blätter sinken, Talnebel hängen schwer, Es hat der Strom kein Blinken, Der Wald kein Rauschen mehr. Da kommt der Sturm gepfiffen Und schüttelt lichtes Haar Und fegt mit festen Griffen Das Land vom Nebel klar. Er schont nicht Laub nicht Äste, Nichts Hübsches ist ihm wert, Der Vogel bangt im Neste, Der Bauer friert am Herd. Räum auf und brich in Scherben, Was nimmer halten mag, Und reiß aus Nacht und Sterben Empor den lichten Tag!
