| - | |
| Born from the shadow of a breath | B |
| We wander in abandonment | C |
| And are lost in the eternal | D |
| Like victims ignorant wherefore they are consecrated | E |
| - | |
| Like beggars nothing is our own | F |
| We fools at the locked gate | G |
| As blind people we listen in the silence | H |
| In which our whisper is lost | I |
| - | |
| We are the wanderers without destinations | J |
| The clouds which the wind blows away | K |
| The flowers shaking in death's coolness | L |
| Which wait until one mows them down | M |
| II | A |
| - | |
| So that the last torment becomes complete with me | N |
| I do not defend you you hostile dark powers | O |
| You are the road to great stillness | L |
| Upon which we stride in the coolest nights | P |
| - | |
| Your breath makes me burn louder | Q |
| Patience The star dies down the dreams glide | R |
| In those realms not named to us | L |
| And which we may only walk along dreamlessly | D |
| III | A |
| - | |
| You dark night you dark heart | S |
| Who mirrors your holiest ground | T |
| And your malice's last abysses | L |
| The mask stares before our pain | U |
| - | |
| Before our pain before our lust | V |
| The empty mask's stony laughter | Q |
| On it the earthen things broke | W |
| And ourselves not deliberately | D |
| - | |
| And a strange enemy stands before us | L |
| Who jeers about which we struggle dying | X |
| So that our songs sound cloudier | Q |
| And what weeps in us remains dark | Y |
| IV | - |
| - | |
| You are the wine that makes drunk | Z |
| Now I bleed in sweet dances | L |
| And must wreath my suffering with flowers | L |
| So your deepest mind wills o night | A2 |
| - | |
| I am the harp in your womb | B2 |
| Now your dark song struggles | L |
| For the last pains in my heart | S |
| And makes me eternal unreal | D |
| V | - |
| - | |
| Deep rest o deep rest | C2 |
| No devout bell rings | L |
| You sweet mother of pain | U |
| Your death widened peace | L |
| - | |
| Close all wounds | L |
| With your cool good hands | L |
| So that inward they bleed to death | B |
| Sweet mother of pain you | D2 |
| VI | - |
| - | |
| O let my silence be your song | E2 |
| What should the poor's whisper be to you | D2 |
| Who is separated from life's gardens | L |
| Let you be nameless in me | - |
| - | |
| Who is dreamlesslybuilt up in me | - |
| Like a bell without tone | F |
| Like my pain's sweet bride | R |
| And the drunken poppy of my sleepings | L |
| VII | - |
| - | |
| I heard flowers die in the ground | T |
| And the wells' drunken lament | F2 |
| And a song from the bell's mouth | G2 |
| Night and a whispered question | H2 |
| And a heart o death wound | T |
| Beyond its poor days | L |
| VIII | - |
| - | |
| The darkness extinguished me in silence | L |
| I became a dead shadow in the day | K |
| Then I stepped from the house of joy | I2 |
| Outside in the night | A2 |
| - | |
| Now a silence dwells in my heart | S |
| That does not feel the dreary day | K |
| And smiles up to you like thorns | L |
| Night forever and ever | Q |
| IX | L |
| - | |
| O night you mute gate before my suffering | X |
| See this dark stigmata bleeding to death | B |
| And completely inclined the staggering chalice of agony | - |
| O night I am ready | - |
| - | |
| O night you garden of oblivion | H2 |
| Around my poverty's closed to the world shine | J2 |
| The wine leaves wilt the wreath of thorns wilts | L |
| O come you grand time | K2 |
| X | L |
| - | |
| My demon once laughed | L2 |
| When I was a light in gleaming gardens | L |
| And play and dance were my companions | L |
| And the wine of love which makes drunk | Z |
| - | |
| My demon once wept | M2 |
| When I was a light in painful gardens | L |
| And humility was my companion | H2 |
| Whose radiance shines on poverty's house | L |
| - | |
| However now my demon neither weeps nor laughs | L |
| I am a shadow of lost gardens | L |
| And my death dark companion is | L |
| The silence of the empty midnight | A2 |
| XI | - |
| - | |
| My poor smile which struggled for you | D2 |
| My sobbing song faded away in darkness | L |
| Now my path comes to an end | N2 |
| - | |
| Let me tread in your cathedral | D |
| Like once a fool simple minded devoutly | - |
| And stand adoring mutely before you | D2 |
| XII | L |
| - | |
| You are in deep midnight | A2 |
| A dead shore at the silent sea | L |
| A dead shore Never more | Q |
| You are in deep midnight | A2 |
| - | |
| You are in deep midnight | A2 |
| The heaven in which you glowed as a star | Q |
| A heaven from which no more God blossoms | L |
| You are in deep midnight | A2 |
| - | |
| You are in deep midnight | A2 |
| An unbegotten in sweet womb | B2 |
| And never existing unreal | D |
| You are in deep midnight | A2 |
