Moonlight / Mondschein / Luz da Lua / Clair de Lune

Ich bin hinauf, hinab gezogen - Und suchte Glück und sucht' es weit, - Es hat mein Suchen mich betrogen, - Und was ich fand, war Einsamkeit. - Ich hörte, wie das Leben lärmte, - Ich sah sein tausendfarbig Licht, - Es war kein Licht, das mich erwärmte, - Und echtes Leben war es nicht. - Und endlich bin ich heimgegangen - Zu alter ...
