Kreuz der strasse
 (Sung text for setting by T. Adorno)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kreuz der strasse...
wir sind am end.
Abend sank schon..
dies ist das end.
Kurzes wallen
wen macht es müd?
Mir zu lang schon..
der schmerz macht müd.
Hände lockten:
Was nahmst du nicht?
Seufer stockten:
Vernahmst du nicht?
Meine strasse
du ziehst sie nicht.
Tränen fallen
du siehst sie nicht.
