Der Regen spinnt Sein graues Lied Von Sehnsucht und Von schwerem Weh. Von Träumen blind Alleinseins müd Bin ich ein Hund Und - geh’. Verlosch’nes Gold Und toter Traum Von Liebe sieht Mich an und schweigt. Und um mich rollt Schillernder Schaum - Die Sehnsucht zieht Und - geigt. Der Herbst ist da Und weint mich an Mit Augen, die Erloschen sind. Ich weiß, er sah: Das Glück verrann, Zwang mich ins Knie Und - ging.
June 6, 1941
