by Karl Ernst Knodt (1856 - 1917)

Vertrau
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn an dem Firmamente
Ein Stern im Sturm zerfliegt,
Siehst du, dass dann die Erde
In tieferm Dunkel liegt? 

Ich sah schon hundert Sterne
Sterben in einer Nacht:
Doch jeden Abend funkelt
Noch ungezählte Pracht.

Vertrau -- wenn dir im Leben
Ein Stern im Sturm zergeht: 
Eine Ewigkeit in Sternen
Still über Stürmen steht.

Confirmed with Aus allen Augenblicken meines Lebens. Neue Gedichte von Karl Ernst Knodt, Mühleim an der Ruhr: K. Schimmelpfeng, 1902. Appears in Abend, page 225.
