by (Johann) Gottfried Kinkel (1815 - 1882)

Stürmisch Wandern
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Felsen steigen herauf, herab,
Fliegt es zum Himmel? Steigt es ins Grab?
Über die Felsen hinab, hinauf,
Geht ungehalten mein steter Lauf.
 
Oben umwandelt der Sturm mich rund,
Los mich zu reißen vom festen Grund.
Unten aber der Ströme Grausen,
Die grimmig schwellend zum Meere brausen;
Schnee auf den Höhn, Regen im Tal,
Grausen und Schrecken allzumal.
 
Nimmer verzagt, nimmer geklagt und gejammert, 
Sprung da gewagt, fest an den Fels dich geklammert.
Und dem Sturm zuwider mit trotziger Lust
Jauchz ich aus wild arbeitender Brust.
Und dem brausenden Gießbach,
dem eisigen Regen,
Ruf ich ein fröhliches Lied entgegen!
