Zwei Lieder nach Texten von Hermann Hesse

Song Cycle by Justus Hermann Wetzel (1879 - 1973)

1. Voll Blüten steht der Pfirsichbaum 
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Voll Blüten steht der Pfirsichbaum,
Nicht jede wird zur Frucht,
Sie schimmern hell wie Rosenschaum
Durch Blau und Wolkenflucht.

Wie Blüten gehn Gedanken auf,
Hundert an jedem Tag --
Laß blühen! laß dem Ding den Lauf!
Frag nicht nach dem Ertrag!

Es muß auch Spiel und Unschuld sein
Und Blütenüberfluß,
Sonst wär die Welt uns viel zu klein
Und Leben kein Genuß.

Text Authorship:

  • by Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962), "Voll Blüten", written 1918, first published 1918

2. Zunachten 
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Laufeuchte Winde schweifen,
Nachtvögel hört man überm Ried
Mit schweren Flügeln streifen
Und fern im Dorf ein Fischerlied.

Aus niegewesenen Zeiten
Sind trübe Sagen angestimmt
Und Klagen um ewige Leiden;
Weh dem, der sie bei Nacht vernimmt!

Laß klagen, Kind, laß rauschen!
Rings ist die Welt vom Leide schwer.
Wir wollen den Vögeln lauschen
Und auch dem Lied vom Dorfe her.
