Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern! Einsam ist jeder Busch und Stein, Kein Baum sieht den andern, Jeder ist allein. Voll Freunden war mir die Welt, Als noch mein Leben licht war; Nun, da der Nebel fällt, Ist keiner mehr sichtbar. Wahrlich, keiner ist weise, Der nicht das Dunkel kennt, Das [unentrinnbar]1 und leise Von allen ihn trennt. Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern! Leben ist [Einsamsein]2. Kein Mensch kennt den andern, Jeder ist allein.

2. Einsame Nacht  [sung text checked 1 time]
Die [ihr meine]1 Brüder seid, Arme Menschen nah und ferne, Die ihr im [Bezirk]2 der Sterne Tröstung träumet eurem Leid, Die ihr [wortelos]3 gefaltet In die blaß gestirnte Nacht Schmale Dulderhände haltet, Die ihr leidet, die ihr wacht, Arme, irrende Gemeinde, Schiffer ohne Stern und Glück -- Fremde, dennoch mir Vereinte, Gebt mir meinen Gruß zurück.

3. Auch zu mir  [sung text checked 1 time]
Auch zu mir kommst du einmal, Du vergißt mich nicht, Und zu Ende ist die Qual Und die Kette bricht. Noch erscheinst du fremd und fern, Lieber Bruder Tod. Stehest als ein kühler Stern Über meiner Not. Aber einmal wirst du nah Und voll Flammen sein -- Komm, Geliebter, ich bin da, Nimm mich, ich bin dein.
