by Christiane Rosalia Friederik (1839 - 1901), as Ada Christen

Haltlos
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Moderne Zigeuner,
Wüste Gesellen,
Vagabunden des Lebens,
Die ringen
Und wandern
Und suchen . . .

Doch immer vergebens!
Einsame
Grosse Kinder
Mit halbem Wissen,
Todkrankem Herzen,
Und immer hinaus,

Immer weiter!
Nach aussen keck,
Nach innen verjammert,
Den Rücken zerschlagen von der Hand,
An die sie vertrauend sich geklammert!
