Der Krämerspiegel (Op. 66)
Drei Masken sah ich am Himmel stehn
Drei Masken sah ich am Himmel stehn,
Wie Larven sind sie anzusehn.
O Schreck, dahinter sieht man …
Herrn Friedmann!
Three masks I saw in the sky
Three Masks I saw in the sky,
Most horrible to behold.
O horror, behind them you can see …
The Man of Peace!
