Ach, trauriger Eingang, trauriger Blick
Des verwaisten Palastes! weh mir, weh!
845
Wo gehn, wo stehn? Was sag' ich, was nicht?
stürb' ich dahin!
Unselig gebar mich die Mutter, fürwahr!
Ich beneide die Todten, ich liebe nur sie,
In der Todten Behausung zieht mich's hinab.
850
Denn nicht mehr freut mich der Sonn' Anblick,
Nicht, daß mein Fuß noch die Erde berührt:
Solch theueres Pfand hat Thanatos mir
Zu den Todten entführt, in den Hades.
Strophe 1.
