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.
Zwei Lieder nach Texten von Hermann Hesse
Song Cycle by Justus Hermann Wetzel (1879 - 1973)
1. Voll Blüten steht der Pfirsichbaum

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.
