Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie unglücklich ich bin,
wie gefesselt mein Sinn!
Wenig bin ich froh;
ich wollt', es wär' nicht so.

MIr gefällt nicht die Sonn', 
mir gefällt nicht der Mond,
mir schmeckt nicht der Wein,
und es sollt' nicht so sein.

Doch die Hilf' weiß ich nicht,
ich sehe kein Licht,
ich seh' keinen Schein -
und es muss wohl so sein.
