Warum bist du aufgewacht

Warum bist du aufgewacht
Erst im Sternenscheine,
Arme Blume? deine Pracht
Blüht nun ganz alleine --
In der Nacht.
Deine Blätter nicken sacht,
Kühle Lüfte wehen;
Sonne, die so golden lacht,
Wirst du nimmer sehen --
In der Nacht.
All die Freuden reich entsacht,
Darfst du nicht erwerben;
Wo kein Auge dein hat Acht,
Mußt verlassen sterben --
In der Nacht.
Auch in meines Herzens Schacht
Thut solch Blümlein stehen,
Dessen noch kein Aug' gedacht,
Wird wie du vergehen --
In der Nacht.
A. Schoenberg sets stanzas 1-2
