As a stranger I arrieved, As a stranger again I leave May favoured me With many a flower bouquet. The maid spoke of love, Her mother even of marriage - Now the world is so bleak, The path covered by snow.
I cannot choose the time Of my journey; I must find my own way In this darkness. The shadow of the moon Will be my travelling companion And on the white pastures I'll search for animal tracks.
Why should I longer further And be driven out? Let stray dogs howl Outside their master's house! Love loves to wander - God made it thus - From one to another. Dearly beloved, good night!
I will not disturb your dreaming, It would be a pity to spoil your rest; You shall not hear my footsteps - Softly, softly close the door! As i pass by I'll write "Good night@ on the gate, So that you may see That I have thought of you.
WHAT I HAVE, I DON'T WANT TO LOSE, BUT WHERE I AM, I DON'T WANT TO STAY, BUT WHAT I LOVE, I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE, BUT WHAT I KNOW, I NO LONGER WISH TO SEE, BUT WHERE I LIVE, I DON'T WANT TO DIE THERE, BUT WHERE I DIE, I DON'T WANT TO GO: I WANT TO STAY, WHERE I HAVE NEVER BEEN
I sent you a postcard, because you had no one to share a drink with! :) Maybe it needs more time to arrive! Sent it to your work, hope it's ok! (wasntme)

As a stranger I arrieved,
As a stranger again I leave
May favoured me
With many a flower bouquet.
The maid spoke of love,
Her mother even of marriage -
Now the world is so bleak,
The path covered by snow.
I cannot choose the time
Of my journey;
I must find my own way
In this darkness.
The shadow of the moon
Will be my travelling companion
And on the white pastures
I'll search for animal tracks.
Why should I longer further
And be driven out?
Let stray dogs howl
Outside their master's house!
Love loves to wander -
God made it thus -
From one to another.
Dearly beloved, good night!
I will not disturb your dreaming,
It would be a pity to spoil your rest;
You shall not hear my footsteps -
Softly, softly close the door!
As i pass by I'll write
"Good night@ on the gate,
So that you may see
That I have thought of you.
ah and here is my favourite interpret:

and one last thing:
WHAT I HAVE, I DON'T WANT TO LOSE, BUT
WHERE I AM, I DON'T WANT TO STAY, BUT
WHAT I LOVE, I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE, BUT
WHAT I KNOW, I NO LONGER WISH TO SEE, BUT
WHERE I LIVE, I DON'T WANT TO DIE THERE, BUT
WHERE I DIE, I DON'T WANT TO GO:
I WANT TO STAY, WHERE I HAVE NEVER BEEN
Thomas Brasch (1945-2001)
Paul Klee had a motto: nulla die sinne linea! ... ;P
