Vier Präludien

Und immer läuft der Strom zum Meere!
Du weinst, mein Wille? Warte nur stille:
der tiefste Strom kommt einst zur Fähre!

Tannengrün und Kerzenstille
Wissen manchen Seufzer Weh,
durch die Nacht geht stille, stille,
stille, stille, weißer Schnee.

Mancher Seufzer sehnt sich Friede-
los nach weißer Friedlichkeit,
durch die Nacht weht Friede, Friede,
Friede, Friede, weit und breit.

Ich bin so wie die Tanne stolz und frei,
auf lichter Wiese steht allein mein Baum.
Doch in dem Moose streben vielerlei
versteckte Wurzeln zu dem Waldessaum!

Steht Bäumlein im Winde,
Wind bläst hinein,
bläst grüne Blätter
ins Bäumelein!

Treibt Bäumlein Blumen,
blau wie die Luft,
Wind weht durch Blumen,
zerstreut den Duft.

Steht Bäumlein im Winde,
Wind bläst hinein,
bläst gelbe Blätter
vom Bäumelein!
