by Matthias Claudius (1740 - 1815)

Regen, komm herab!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Erste:
 Regen, komm herab!
 Unsre Saaten stehn und [trauern]1,
 Und die Blumen welken.

Der Zweyte:
 Regen, komm herab!
 Unsre Bäume stehn und [trauern]1!
 Und das Laub verdorret.

Der Erste:
 Und das Vieh im Felde schmachtet,
 Und brüllt auf zum Himmel.
 
Der Zweyte:
 Und der Wurm im Grase schmachtet,
 Schmachtet und will sterben.
 
Beyde:
 [Laß doch]2 nicht die Blumen welken!
 Nicht das Laub verdorren!
 [O! laß doch den Wurm]3 nicht sterben!
 Regen, komm herab!
