Hoffe still
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Hoffe still! -- und mag auch alles 
Feindlich deinen Wünschen sein: 
Durch der Wolken düstern Schleier 
Bricht ja neu der Sonne Schein! 

Hoffe still! -- es naht die Stunde, 
Die dir wiederbringt das Glück, 
Und du schaust auf trübe Tage 
Mit verklärtem Aug' zurück!

Confirmed with Gedichte von Julius Graefe, Dritte veränderte Auflage, Leipzig: Ed. Wartig's Verlag (Ernst Hoppe), 1885, page 10.
