by Theodor Däubler (1876 - 1934)

Winter
 (Sung text for setting by T. Adorno)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Geduldig ist der Wald,
Behutsamer der Schnee,
Am einsamsten das Reh.
Ich rufe. Was erschallt?
Der Widerhall macht Schritte.
Er kehrt zurück zu seinem Weh.
Das kommt heran wie leise Tritte.
Er findet mich in meiner Mitte.
Warum hab ich den Wald gestört?
Vom Schnee ward nichts gehört.
Hat sich das Reh gescheut?
Wie mich das Rufen reut.
