by (Karl) Ludwig Pfau (1821 - 1894)

Einsam bin ich und alleine
 (Sung text for setting by A. Schoenberg)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Einsam bin ich und alleine,
Tragen muß ich Leid und Schmerz,
Und zurück in's eigne Herz
Rinnt die Träne die ich weine.

Frühling kam und hat nicht eine
Rose mir gesteckt an's Herz;
Frühling kam mit Spiel und Scherz,
Einsam bin ich und alleine.

Große Augen, arme Kleine,
Schick' ich suchen allerwärts;
Aber in kein fremdes Herz
Rinnt die Träne die ich weine.
