Auch zu mir kommst du einmal, Du vergißt mich nicht, Und zu Ende ist die Qual Und die Kette bricht. Noch erscheinst du fremd und fern, Lieber Bruder Tod. Stehest als ein kühler Stern Über meiner Not. Aber einmal wirst du nah Und voll Flammen sein -- Komm, Geliebter, ich bin da, Nimm mich, ich bin dein.
