by Ludwig Wilhelm Friedrich Seeger (1810 - 1864)

Wie dort das finstre Riesenbild
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie dort das finstre Riesenbild
   Mit vollen Segeln fleucht,
Und hinterher die Rache wild
   Auf Sturmes Flügeln keucht.
 
Der graue Sünder ists, verflucht,
   Der Mord und Flammen schnob,
Den sie auf allen Wegen sucht,
   Bis er in Nichts zerstob.
