Die Halme tropfen noch, Vom Sturm gewiegt; Hinan die Lerche doch Durch's Wetter fliegt; Sucht an der Himmelsau Ein Fleckchen blau. Und wie im Sonnenglanz Klingt hell ihr Lied, Als ob schon lange ganz Der Nebel schied; Ihr gnügt im Wolkengrau Ein Fleckchen blau. Sing mit, sing mit, o Herz, Wie's auch dir geh, Und schwing dich himmelwärts Durch alles Weh! Blieb nicht auch dir, o schau, Ein Fleckchen blau?
Confirmed with Liederbuch von Friedrich Oser, 1842-1874. Mit einem biographischen Verzeichnis der Componisten, Basel: Benno Schwabe, Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1875, page 56.

The blades of grass are still dripping, Rocked by the storm; The lark, nevertheless, Flies through the tempest; [It] seeks upon the lea of heaven A spot of blue. And as in the sun's radiance [The lark's] song resounds brightly, As if the mists had long Completely dissipated; In the clouds’ greyness, [the lark] Is content with a spot of blue. Sing along, sing along, oh heart, No matter what you may be experiencing, And turn yourself heavenward Through all pain! Did not there remain for you, too, oh look, A spot of blue?
