Gegen mich selber in Haß entbrannt, 
Von Vielen gemieden, von Allen verkannt, 
So sitz' ich den lieben sonnigen Tag 
Und lausche des Herzens unwilligem Schlag. 
So sitz' ich bei Mondes vertraulichem Schein 
Und starr' in die leuchtende Nacht hinein,  
Allein!  allein!

Nie gönnt mein Herz der Liebe Raum!
Ich hasse die Wirklichkeit, hasse den Traum,
den Sommer, den Winter, die Frühlingszeit,
was gestern ich haßte, das hass' ich auch heut;
so sitz' ich bei Mondes vertraulichem Schein
und starr' in die leuchtende Nacht hinein,
bei Mondes vertraulichem Schein, 
in die leuchtende Nacht hinein, allein!
