by Emanuel von Geibel (1815 - 1884)

Ich bin der Sturm, der fährt dem Norden...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich bin der Sturm, der fährt dem Norden zu,
Du bist die mondbeglänzte Meeresruh' -
Wie stimmt ein solches Ich zu solchem Du!

Du bist der Strahl, der sich auf Lilien wiegt,
Der Hagel ich, der aus der Wolke fliegt -
O ew'ge Kluft, die zwischen beiden liegt!

Ich unstet, wild, der Erde düstrer Gast,
Du himmlisch heiter, wie die Engel fast -
Nun zeig', o Liebe, daß du Allmacht hast!
