Im Nebel

Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern!
Einsam ist jeder Busch und Stein,
kein Baum sieht den andern,
jeder ist allein.

Voll Freunden war mir die Welt,
als noch mein Leben licht war;
nun, da der Nebel fällt,
ist keiner mehr sichtbar.

Wahrlich, keiner ist weise,
der nicht das Dunkel kennt,
das unentrinnbar und leise
von allen ihn trennt.

Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern!
Leben ist Einsamsein.
Kein Mensch kennt den andern,
jeder ist allein.

by Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) , "Im Nebel"
