Zwei Vertonungen von Hesse-Gedichten

Song Cycle by Alexander Lang Steinert (1900 - 1982)

1. Allein
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Über die Erde führen 
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 Können so gut,
Als daß man alles Schwere 
Alleine tut.

Text Authorship:

  • by Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962), "Allein", written 1906

2. Wanderschaft
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im Walde blüht der Seidelbast,
Im Graben liegt noch Schnee;
Das du mir heut' geschrieben hast,
Das Brieflein tat mir weh.

Jetzt schneid' ich einen Stab im Holz;
Ich weiß ein ander Land,
Da sind die Jungfern nicht so stolz
Dem Lieben abgewandt.

Im Walde blüht der Seidelbast,
Kein Brieflein tut mir weh,
Und das du mir geschrieben hast,
Schwimmt draußen auf dem See, 
Schwimmt draußen auf dem Bodensee, 
Ja draußen auf dem See.
