Wenn auch der Abend kalt und traurig ist Und Regen rauscht, Ich singe doch mein Lied in dieser Frist, Weiß nicht, wer lauscht. Wenn auch die Welt in Qual und Not erstickt, An manchem Ort Brennt heimlich doch, ob niemand sie erblickt, Die Liebe fort.

Subtitle: Aus Getrud
Language: German (Deutsch)
Der Föhn schreit jede Nacht, Sein feuchter Flügel flattert schwer. Brachvögel taumeln durch die Luft. Nun schläft nichts mehr, Nun ist das ganze Land erwacht, Der Frühling ruft. In diesen Nächten schlaf ich nicht. Mein Herz wird jung, Aus blauen Tiefen der Erinnerung Steigt meiner Jugend heißes Glück, Schaut mir so nahe ins Gesicht, Erschrickt, und flieht zurück. Bleib still, bleib still, mein Herz! Ob auch im Blute eng und schwer Die Leidenschaft sich rührt Und dich die alten Wege führt -- Nicht jugendwärts Gehn deine Wege mehr.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Ihr Vögel im Gesträuch, Wie flattert euer Gesang Den bräunenden Wald entlang -- Ihr Vögel, sputet euch! Bald kommt der Wind, der weht, Bald kommt der Tod, der mäht, Bald kommt das graue Gespenst und lacht, Daß uns das Herz erfriert Und der Garten all seine Pracht Und das Leben all seinen Glanz verliert. Liebe Vögel im Laub, Liebe Brüderlein, Lasset uns singen und fröhlich sein, Bald sind wir Staub.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Das Karussell war in der Nacht verglüht, Der Tanz zu Ende, die Musik versprüht, Vom Wein die Tafel rot. Wir saßen noch und starrten, müd vom Wein, Schwül kam der Wind durchs offne Tor herein, Im Garten stand der Tod. Du deinen Weg, ich meinen, gingen wir Schweigend hinweg und suchten Nachtquartier, Die Freude war verloht. Und seither tönt der Nachtwind mir im Ohr Von damals, und an jedem Weg und Tor Steht immer noch der Tod.
