Kennst du das auch, dass manchesmal Inmitten einer lauten Lust, Bei einem Fest, in einem frohen Saal, Du plötzlich schweigen und hinweggeh'n musst? Dann legst du dich aufs Lager ohne Schlaf Wie Einer, den ein plötzlich Herzweh traf; Lust und Gelächter ist verstiebt wie Rauch, Du weinst, weinst ohne Halt - Kennst du das auch?
