Straßen hin und Straßen her
Language: German (Deutsch)

Straßen hin und Straßen her
Wandr ich [in der]1 Nacht;
Bin [aus Träumen]2 dumpf und schwer
Schluchzend aufgewacht.
Thränen,
Sehnen,
Lust und Schmerz, --
Ach, wohin treibt mich mein Herz?
Ach, wohin treibt mich mein Herz?
 
Steht ein Haus [in]3 Grün gebaut
[Draußen vor]4 der Stadt,
Wo der Fluß mit [leisem Laut]5
Sein Geströme hat.
Blüten
Hüten
Dicht es ein:
Dort möcht ich zu Gaste sein,
Dort möcht ich zu Gaste sein.
