Einleitung

Das Selbst sing ich

Als ich schweigend brütete

In engen Schiffen zur See

An fremde Lande

An einen Historiker

Den Staaten

An eine Sängerin

Schließt eure Türen nicht

Künftige Dichter

An Dich

Ausgehend von Paumanok

Der Grundstein aller Metaphysik

Ich sah in Louisiana eine Eiche wachsen -

Salut au monde!

Lied der Landstraße

Ich sitze und schaue

Als ich lag, meinen Kopf in Deinem Schoß, Camerado

Leb wohl, Soldat -

Wende dich, Freiheit -

Heimkehr der Helden

Der mystische Trompeter

Wandl ich durch die breit majestätischen Tage

Helle Mitternacht

Jahre des Modernen

Staub toter Soldaten

Dank in hohem Alter.
