Eingeschneite stille Felder
dehnen sich um meinen Weg,
unter meinen Nägelschuhen
knirscht der eisbezogene Steg.

Winterblanke Sterne stehen
stumm in ihrer kalten Höh,
brummt der Wind mir in die Ohren:
Winterkälte, Winterweh . .

Droben starren dunkle Wälder,
in der Luft ein Rabenschrei . .
Und ich wandre wegverloren,
heimatlos und vogelfrei . . .
