from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Steh auf Nordwind
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Steh auf Nordwind,
Und komm Südwind!
Weh mit deiner heilgen Luft
Durch den Garten,
Ich will warten
Dein in meines Herzens Gruft;
Laß dein Sausen
Auf mich brausen,
Meine Seele nach dir ruft.

Steh auf Nordwind,
Und komm Südwind!
Jag die schwarzen Wolken hin!
Mach das Dunkle,
Daß es funkle,
Alle Finsterniß zerrinn!
Finstre Sünden
Laß verschwinden,
Und mach helle Herz und Sinn.

Steh auf Nordwind,
Und komm Südwind!
Mach mein kaltes Herze heiß;
Dich zu lieben,
Das zu üben,
Was gereicht zu deinem Preis.
Sey mir günstig,
Mach mich brünstig,
In mein Herz die Liebe geuß.
