        Circa 1979.
        Winterreise (Winter Journey) is a cycle of 24 songs by Frans Schubert (op. 89, D. 911). The first part of twelve songs was finished February 1927. The second part in October of that year. The Guidepost is song number 20.

        Was vermeid' ich denn die Wege,
        Wo die ander'n Wand'rer geh'n,
        Suche mir versteckte Stege,
        Durch verschneite Felsenhöh'n ?

        Habe ja doch nichts begangen,
        Daß ich Menschen sollte scheu'n, -
        Welch ein törichtes Verlangen
        Treibt mich in die Wüstenei'n ?

        Weiser stehen auf den Straßen,
        Weisen auf die Städte zu.
        Und ich wandre sonder Maßen
        Ohne Ruh' und suche Ruh'.

        Einen Weiser seh' ich stehen
        Unverrückt vor meinem Blick;
        Eine Straße muß ich gehen,
        Die noch keiner ging zurück.
