O schau, sie schweben wieder Wie leise Melodien Vergessener schöner Lieder Am blauen Himmel hin! Kein Herz kann sie verstehen, Dem nicht auf langer Fahrt Ein Wissen von allen Wehen Und Freuden des Wanderns ward. Ich liebe die Weißen, Losen Wie Sonne, Meer und Wind, Weil sie der Heimatlosen Schwestern und Engel sind.

21. Liebeslied
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich bin der Hirsch, du bist das Reh, Der Vogel du und ich der Baum, Die Sonne du und ich der Schnee, Du bist der Tag und ich der Traum. Nachts aus meinem schlafenden Mund Fliegt ein Goldvogel zu dir, Hell ist seine Stimme, sein Flügel bunt, Der singt dir das Lied voll der Liebe, Der singt dir das Lied von mir.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Mir zittern die Saiten Und stimmen die Weise an, Die ich für dich vorzeiten, Die ich für dich in einem Mai Aus lauter Glück ersann. Ich führe den Bogen So scheu und leis gespannt, Wie ich ihn da gezogen, Da ich in einer fernen Nacht Vor deinem Fenster stand. Mein Herz ist beklommen Von Liedern andrer Zeit -- Weiß Gott, wie das gekommen, Daß mir aus deiner Liebe ward So eitel Weh und Leid.

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)
Wir sind in Zorn und Unverstand Wie Kinder tun, geschieden Und haben uns gemieden, Von blöder Scham gebannt. Die Jahre gingen drüber her Mit Reuen und mit Warten. In unsern Jugendgarten Führt keine Straße mehr.

91. Der stille Hof

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.
