Alle meine Jugendzeit Bin ich Lüsten nachgegangen, Um danach voll Düsterkeit Leid und Schmerzen nachzuhangen. Schmerz und Lüste sind mir nun Ganz verschwistert und durchdrungen; Ob sie wohl, ob wehe tun, Beides ist in eins verschlungen. Ob mich Gott durch Höllenschrei, Ob durch Sonnenhimmel führe, Beides gilt mir einerlei, Wenn ich seine Hand nur spüre.
