Aus meinen großen Schmerzen Mach' ich die kleinen Lieder; Die heben ihr klingend Gefieder Und flattern nach ihrem Herzen. Sie fanden den Weg zur Trauten, Doch kommen sie wieder und klagen, Und klagen, und wollen nicht sagen, Was sie im Herzen schauten.

2. Wo ich bin, mich rings umdunkelt  [sung text not yet checked]
Wo ich bin, mich rings umdunkelt Finsterniß so dumpf und dicht, Seit mir nicht mehr leuchtend funkelt, Liebste, deiner Augen Licht. [Mir]1 erloschen ist der süßen Liebessterne goldne Pracht, Abgrund gähnt zu meinen Füßen. Nimm mich auf, uralte Nacht.

3. Was will die einsame Träne  [sung text not yet checked]
Was will die einsame Träne? Sie trübt mir ja den Blick. Sie blieb aus alten Zeiten In meinem Auge zurück. Sie hatte viel leuchtende Schwestern, Die alle zerflossen sind, Mit meinen Qualen und Freuden Zerflossen in Nacht und Wind. Wie Nebel sind auch zerflossen Die blauen Sternelein, Die mir [jene]1 Freuden und Qualen Gelächelt ins Herz hinein. Ach, meine Liebe selber Zerfloß wie eitel Hauch! Du alte, einsame Träne, Zerfließe jetzunder auch!
