Einsame Nacht

Die [ihr meine]1 Brüder seid,
Arme Menschen nah und ferne,
Die ihr im Bezirk der Sterne
Tröstung träumet eurem Leid,
Die ihr wortelos gefaltet
In die blass gestirnte Nacht
Schmale Dulderhände haltet,
Die ihr leidet, die ihr wacht,
Arme, irrende Gemeinde,
Schiffer ohne Stern und Glück -
Fremde, dennoch mir Vereinte,
Gebt mir meinen Gruss zurück.

by Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) , "Einsame Nacht"
