Laut rauscht der Wind, der Unheilkünder
Language: German (Deutsch)
Laut rauscht der Wind, der Unheilkünder,
Durchs weiße wirbelnde Gewirr;
Des Waldes welke Zweige brechen,
Der Berghirsch flüchtet, pfadesirr.
Und würgend tragen Nordlandstürme
Nur Schnee herbei und neuen Schnee,
Der steigt und steigt -- in langen Nächten;
Bis in den Felsgrund dringt dies Weh!
Dann endlich, endlich blaut es wieder,
Schneeblendend glänzt der Berge Pracht!
Doch regt kein Leben mehr die Glieder,
Kein Laut erklingt -- Es ist vollbracht!

The wind, herald of calamity, rushes...
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The wind, herald of calamity, rushes loudly
Through the white swirling jumble;
The forest’s withered branches break,
The mountain elk flees, uncertain of its path.
And chokingly, storms from northern lands
Bring only snow and more snow
That mounts up and mounts up -- in long nights;
This misery penetrates even into the depths of the rock!
Then finally, finally the sky turns blue once more,
The splendour of the mountains sparkles in dazzling snow!
But no life is stirring any longer,
No sound rings out -- It is completed!
