Gib uns deine milde Hand! Von der Mutter Hand gerissen Irren wir in Finsternissen Kinder durch ein fremdes Land. Manchmal wenn es dunkel war, Schenkte eine Heimatweise Deiner Stimme wunderbar Licht und Trost der bangen Reise. Wandrer ohne Ziel und Pfad Irren wir in dunklen Weiten; Wolle du uns gnädig leiten, Bis der große Morgen naht!

2. Alpenpaß [sung text checked 1 time]
Durch viele Täler wandernd kam ich her, Nach keinem Ziele hin steht mein Begehr. Hinschauend seh ich an der Ferne Rand Italien, meiner Jugendjahre Land, Indes vom Norden mir herüberschaut Das kühlere Land, wo ich mein Haus gebaut. Ich schaue still mit wunderlichem Schmerz Zu meinem Jugendgarten südenwärts Und winke grüßend mit geschwungenem Hut Dem Norden zu, wo nun mein Wandern ruht. Und brennend geht es durch die Seele mir: Ach, meine Heimat ist nicht dort, nicht hier!

3. Beim Schlafengehen [sung text checked 1 time]
[Nun]1 der Tag mich [müd]2 gemacht, Soll mein sehnliches Verlangen Freundlich die gestirnte Nacht Wie ein müdes Kind empfangen. Hände, laßt von allem Tun, Stirn vergiß du alles Denken, Alle meine Sinne nun Wollen sich in Schlummer senken. Und die Seele unbewacht Will in freien Flügen schweben, Um im Zauberkreis der Nacht Tief und tausendfach zu leben.

4. Assistono diversi santi [sung text checked 1 time]
Nichts andres haben wir zu tun, Als daß wir vor dem Heilandkind Auf frommen Knieen betend ruhn. Die wir der Jungfrau Diener sind. Sieh, unser Dienst ist leicht und zart. Wir atmen still im grünen Land Der schönen Mutter Gegenwart. Und selig werden wir genannt. Und selig wirst auch du, o Christ, Der du voll dunkler Sehnsucht bist, Wenn du der Schönsten dich ergibst Und keine andre liebst.

7. Wie der stöhnende Wind durch die Nacht [sung text checked 1 time]
Wie der stöhnende Wind durch die Nacht Stürmt mein Verlangen nach dir, Jede Sehnsucht ist aufgewacht -- O du, die mich krank gemacht, Was weißt du von mir! Leise lösch ich mein spätes Licht, Fiebernde Stunden zu wachen, Und die Nacht hat dein Angesicht, Und der Wind, der von Liebe spricht, Hat dein unvergeßliches Lachen!

8. Weg zur Geliebten [sung text checked 1 time]
Der Tag tut frische Augen auf, Tautrunken glänzt die Welt Dem jungen Licht entgegen, Das golden sie umfangen hält. Im Walde bin ich unterwegs Und halte fleißig Schritt Mit dem geschwinden Morgen, Der nimmt mich als ein Bruder mit. Den Mittag seh ich heiß und schwer Im gelben Kornfeld stehn, Er sieht mich ohne Weile Vorüber und landeinwärts gehn. Und wenn der stille Abend kommt, Will ich am Ziele sein, Will wie der Tag verglühen, Geliebteste, am Herzen dein.

9. Absterben [sung text checked 1 time]
Wenn ich Kinder spielen sehe Und ihr Spiel nicht mehr verstehe Und ihr Lachen fremd und töricht klingt, Ach das ist vom bösen Feinde, Den ich ewig ferne meinte, Eine Mahnung, die nicht mehr verklingt. Wenn ich Liebesleute sehe Und zufrieden weiter gehe Ohne Sehnsucht nach dem Paradies, Ach das ist ein still Verzichten Auf des Herzens tiefstes Dichten, Das der Jugend Ewigkeit verhieß. Wenn ich böse Reden höre Und mich nicht mehr heiß empöre Und gelassen tu, als hört ich's nicht, O dann zuckt im Herzen, Still und ohne Schmerzen, Und erlischt das heilige Licht.

10. Gute Stunde [sung text checked 1 time]
Erdbeeren glühn im Garten, Ihr Duft ist süß und voll, Mir ist, ich müsse warten, Daß durch den grünen Garten Bald meine Mutter kommen soll. Mir ist, ich bin ein Knabe, Und alles war geträumt, Was ich vertan, versäumt, Verspielt, verloren habe. Noch liegt im Gartenfrieden Die reiche Welt vor mir, Ist alles mir beschieden, Gehöret alles mir. Benommen bleib ich stehen Und wage keinen Schritt, Daß nicht die Düfte verwehen Und meine gute Stunde mit.

11. Meinem Bruder [sung text checked 1 time]
Wenn wir jetzt die Heimat wieder sehen, Gehen wir bezaubert durch die Stuben, Bleiben lang im alten Garten stehen, Wo wir einst gespielt als wilde Buben. Und von jenen Herrlichkeiten allen, Die wir draußen in der Welt erbeutet, Will uns keine freun mehr und gefallen, Wenn daheim die Kirchenglocke läutet. Stille gehen wir die alten Wege Durch das grüne Land der Kindertage, Und sie werden uns im Herzen rege[,] Fremd und groß wie eine schöne Sage. Ach, und alles, was auf uns mag warten, Wird den reinen Glanz doch nicht mehr haben Wie vorzeiten, da wir noch als Knaben Falter fingen, jeder Tag im Garten.

13. Die Flamme [sung text checked 1 time]
Ob du tanzen gehst in Tand und Plunder, Ob dein Herz sich wund in Sorgen müht, Täglich neu erfährst du doch das Wunder, Daß des Lebens Flamme in dir glüht. Mancher läßt sie lodern und verprassen, Trunken im verzückten Augenblick, Andre geben sorglich und gelassen Kind und Enkeln weiter ihr Geschick. Doch verloren sind nur dessen Tage, Den sein Weg durch dumpfe Dämmrung führt, Der sich sättigt in des Tages Plage Und des Lebens Flamme niemals spürt.
