Und wieder steh' ich schweigend hier an deinem Bett und streiche dir noch einmal leis, über das Haar. In tiefem Schlaf liegst du vor mir, so friedlich, wie ein kleines Tier, das einen Tag lang emsig war. Und deine Hilflosigkeit rührt mich, daß es mir die Kehle schnürt, und wieder kommt's mir in den Sinn, daß ich nun Sorge trag' für dich, ich alter "Bruder Liederlich", wie wichtig ich auf einmal bin!
Abends an deinem Bett zerrinnt das Wichtigste zur Nichtigkeit, ratlos und voller Dankbarkeit steh' ich vor dir, und ich empfand' so etwas wie Demut, mein Kind.
Ich gehör' mir nicht mehr allein, nein, ganz frei werd' ich nie mehr sein, ganz sorglos und ganz unbeschwert. Jede Entscheidung, jeden Schritt, jeden Gedanken lenkst du mit, solange, wie ich denken werd. Aber meine Sorglosigkeit bin ich zu tauschen gern bereit, und meine Ruhe geb' ich her für das Knäuel, das sich an mich hängt, den Freudenschrei der mich empfängt, wenn ich am Abend wiederkehr'.
Abends an deinem Bett zerrinnt das Wichtigste zur Nichtigkeit, ratlos und voller Dankbarkeit steh' ich vor dir, und ich empfand' so etwas wie Demut, mein Kind.
Nun gute Nacht, dein Tag war lang. Wenn es mir nicht so ganz gelang für dich zu sein, wie ich gern wär, dann hab'Geduld mit mir, weißt du, ich lerne noch soviel dazu, morgen weiß ich vielleicht schon mehr, und wenn ich ungeduldig war, schroff oder ungerecht sogar, dann mußt du mir bitte verzeih'n, ich sollt' es wissen, eigentlich, der größ're von uns zwei'n bin ich, könnt' ich doch auch der Weis're sein!
Abends an deinem Bett zerrinnt das Wichtigste zur Nichtigkeit, ratlos und voller Dankbarkeit steh' ich vor dir, und ich empfand' so etwas wie Demut, mein Kind
