by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Das braust und stöhnt im Waldgehege
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das [braust und]1 stöhnt im Waldgehege,
Es kracht der Baum, die Wolken weh'n;
Ich gehe schweigend meine Wege -
Ich hab's gelernt, im Sturm zu geh'n.

Die Wogen [sprüh'n empor, die weißen]2,
Der See heult und der Nordwind brüllt.
Sturm, willst du mir vom Herzen reißen
Auch noch das Leid, das mich erfüllt?

Ich geb' dir's nicht, - ich press' die Arme
Um dies gequälte, volle Herz,
Erbarmungsloser Sturm, erbarme
[Dich meiner]3! -- Laß mir meinen Schmerz!
