Literature

This poem by Nikolaus Lenau can be seen on the title page:

O Menschenherz, was ist dein Glück?
Ein rätselhaft geborner
Und, kaum gegrüßt, verlorner,
Unwiederholter Augenblick!

Nikolaus Lenau, 1834 

The symphony's title 'Alles endet was entstehet' is the German title of a poem by Michelangolo (1475−1564)
