Der erste Schnee zieht wieder hernieder auf die Stadt und gibt ihr ein Gefieder, doch schmilzt er immer wieder. Oh warum schmilzt der Frieden des Schnees auf der Stadt? Vom Himmel uns beschieden, hienieden schmilzt der Frieden! Und immer zieht er wieder hernieder auf die Stadt und gibt ihr ein Gefieder, doch schmilzt er immer wieder!

Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Wüste! Die Wüste quält meinen Sinn mit ihren gelben Tönen! Ich will, ich darf mit ihr mich nicht versöhnen, der Wüste, der Wüste. Sie hat das Meer gekannt und es verachtet, sie hat die Sonne allzulang betrachtet, nun ist sie bleich, daß ihr die Gurgel schmachtet. Du Wüste! Du Wüste! Wann wird dein Blut dir in den Adern kühlen? Wann wird dein Sand am Weg zum Meer sich wühlen? Du Wüste! Du Wüste!

Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Frauen tragen, wenn ihr Tag verklungen, ein müdes Lächeln auf dem leisen Munde und horchen durch die Dämmerungen der schönen Jugend auf den Schall der Stunde! Die Frauen zünden, wenn sie nicht mehr hoffen, die Kronenleuchter, und das Licht ist schwächer, sie schweben schweigend vor den Seidenstoffen und Spritzenränden durch die Prunkgemächer. Die Frauen wüßten, wenn es spät geworden, zu lieben wie sie nicht zu lieben wußten, als es für sie noch nicht zu spät geworden, noch nicht zu spät und sie zu lieben wußten. Die Frauen singen, wenn ihr Lied verschollen, mit halber Stimme die verschollnen Lieder, und vor den Wünschen, die da weilen wollen, und vor dem Traum erstehn die Träume wieder.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Und Worte gibt es, welche wandern und wachsen und voll Innigkeit von einem Menschen zu dem andern hinüber gehn wie Ströme breit. Sie plätschern über dem Verlangen, das einstmals in den Seelen gor: was kommen mag, ist längst vergangen, und das Vergangne steht bevor. Vom Wind getragen hin und wieder ein feuchtes Licht, ein helles Schwanken, bis an die Seele steigt es kühl. Die Ströme gehn im Meere nieder, und das Gefühl wird zum Gedanken und der Gedanke zum Gefühl!

I. Wenn die Mutter mich erschauen tät, der ich hier noch des Abends spät mich in Verzweiflung gräme, sie wäre nicht so weit, so weit und wäre wohl sogleich bereit zu kommen, ja sie käme! II. Wenn Mutter wüßte, daß ihr Sohn für die Begeisterung den Lohn des Gleichmuts hat gewonnen, sie hätte längst das ferne Land gefunden, das er frostig fand, um ihn mit Trost zu sonnen. III. Wenn Mutter wüßte, daß ich heint, die müden Augen rot geweint, sie täte sich erbarmen. Sie flöge zu mir her geschwind und trüge fort ihr krankes Kind, in ihren Mutterarmen.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Der Kanker spinnt an seiner Kankerwebe ein luftiges und gastfreundliches Haus und kehrt von einer zu der andern Rebe, bis zur Vollendung seines Gartenbaus. Er wartet dann, dass ihm der Zufall gebe, was summend kommt, und macht ihm den Garaus. Umgibt es noch mit einem Wollgewebe und wirft es schließlich aus dem Netz hinaus. Sobald die Nacht mit ihrem Silberstreifen im Vollmond lieblich durch die Reben zieht, hat sich der Kanker in dem Laub verborgen, weil er nicht gern den Vollmond glitzern sieht, und wartet, wartet auf den nächsten Morgen, um mit dem Tageslicht sein Garn zu weifen.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Und Menschen, welche sich begreifen, sind einmal hier und einmal dort; und müssen immer weiter schweifen und haben keinen Heimatsort. Sie treffen sich in seltnen Stunden und blicken tief und zittern bang und ziehen, wenn sie sich gefunden, ein jeder seinen Weg entlang. Und ein Gefühl ist im Verzichte und eine Wohlfahrt im Verklingen! Erinnerung wird zum Geleit. Vielleicht verstricken sich im Lichte der Menschenwege weite Schlingen noch einmal in der Ewigkeit.

Mir ist, als fände sich durch die Wände zu mir ein Schall; er schwillt, verteilt sich und übereilt sich von Fall zu Fall. Was mag er bringen, und was bedingen, was kann es sein? Es fällt mir eben (er schwillt im Schweben) doch gar nichts ein! Er dringt schon wieder zu mir hernieder von weitem her -- mir ist beim Schwalle von diesem Schalle das Herz so schwer!

Wie ein Traum sind die Jahre dahin meines lachenden Knabenalters, wie der Flaum und das Ultramarin eines flatternden Tagesfalters.

Wie der Schaum, der im Sande zerrann, ist der Leichtsinn leider zerronnen, nun ich kaum mich beschuldigen kann, daß ich jemals zu lachen begonnen!
