"O red rose, Man lies in direst need, Man lies in direst pain, I would rather be in heaven. I then came upon a broad path, An angel came and sought to turn me back, Ah no! I refused to be turned away. I am from God and to God I will return, Dear God will give me a light, Will light my way to eternal blessed life." (Unknown, used by Mahler, 1895)
