## The words

Was will die einsame Träne?  
sie trübt mir ja den Blick.  
Sie blieb aus alten Zeiten  
in meinem Auge zurück.  
Sie hatte viel’ leuchtende Schwestern,  
die alle zerflossen sind,  
mit meinen Qualen und Freuden,  
zer flossen in Nacht und Wind.  
Wie Nebel sind auch zerflossen die blauen  
Sternelein,  
die mir jene Freuden und Qualen gelächelt  
in’s Herz hinein.  
Ach, meine Liebe selber  
zerfloss wie eitel Hauch!  
Du alte, einsame Träne,  
zerfliesse jetzunder auch!
