Hört ihr im Laube des Regens starke Schläge? Höret ihr brechen die Aest' im Sturmgefege? Hört ihr doch drinnen der Vöglein süsse Kehlen Preisend der Liebe des Herrn sich anempfehlen! Seht ihr im Lande der Zwietracht Fackel lodern? Hört ihr den Frevel das Recht zum Kampfe fodern? Drum mit des Herzens Gewalt friedvoller Lieder Zaubert das wilde Geschrei des Wahnsinns nieder!

Do you hear the rain's powerful blows in the foliage? Do you hear the branches breaking in the sweeping storm? Yet you also hear in [the tree] the sweet singing of the little birds Entrusting themselves with praise to the love of the Lord! Do you see the torches of dissension flaming in the land? Do you hear Iniquity summon Right to battle? Therefore with the power of your heart's peaceful songs Magically subdue the wild cries of insanity!
