Abendphantasie Lyrics by Friedrich Hölderlin

0

Vor seiner Hütte ruhig im Schatten sitzt
    Der Pflüger, dem Genügsamen raucht sein Herd.
        Gastfreundlich tönt dem Wanderer im
            Friedlichen Dorfe die Abendglocke.
Wohl kehren jetzt die Schiffer zum Hafen auch,
    In fernen Städten, fröhlich verrauscht des Markts
        Geschäft'ger Lärm; in stiller Laube
            Glänzt das gesellige Mahl den Freunden.
Wohin denn ich? Es leben die Sterblichen
    Von Lohn und Arbeit; wechselnd in Müh' und Ruh'
        Ist alles freudig; warum schläft denn
            Nimmer nur mir in der Brust der Stachel?
Am Abendhimmel blühet ein Frühling auf;
    Unzählig blühn die Rosen und ruhig scheint
        Die goldne Welt; o dorthin nehmt mich
            Purpurne Wolken! und möge droben
In Licht und Luft zerrinnen mir Lieb' und Leid! –
    Doch, wie verscheucht von törichter Bitte, flieht
        Der Zauber; dunkel wird's und einsam
            Unter dem Himmel, wie immer, bin ich –
Komm du nun, sanfter Schlummer! zu viel begehrt
    Das Herz; doch endlich, Jugend! verglühst du ja,
        Du ruhelose, träumerische!
            Friedlich und heiter ist dann das Alter.
