Weiße Wolken

O Schau, sie schweben wieder
Wie leise Melodien
Vergessener scheoner Lieder
Am blauen Himmel hin!

Kein Herz kann sie verstehen,
Dem nicht auf langer Farht
Ein wissen von allem wehen
Und Freuden des Wanderns ward.

Ich liebe die Weissen Losen
Wie Sonne , Meer und Wind,
Weil sie der Heimatlosen
Schwestern und Engel sind.

by Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) , "Weiße Wolken"
