Nie gönnt mein Herz der Liebe Raum!
Ich hasse die Wirklichkeit, hasse den Traum,
den Sommer, den Winter, die Frühlingszeit,
was gestern ich haßte, das hass' ich auch heut;
so sitz' ich bei Mondes vertraulichem Schein
und starr' in die leuchtende Nacht hinein,
bei Mondes vertraulichem Schein, 
in die leuchtende Nacht hinein, allein!
