The loneliest man

K. Weigl

Now since the day

Grew weary of the day the streams of all thy longing

To thee fresh solace murmur,

And all the heavens, held secure in golden meshes

To ev'ry tired being say: Rest thee now!

Why dost not rest, thou sombre heart,

What goads thee on to flight till feet are sore,

What dost await?
