Der schönste Cherub kommt;
mit weitweißen sanften Schwingen
schimmert er durchs Dunkel:
kalt, starr und schaurig und süß
wie der Wille Gottes,
heimatliederumraunt.

Hiver
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Le plus beau des Chérubins arrive ;
avec des ailes larges, blanches, douces,
il brille à travers l'obscurité :
froid, immobile, et terrible et doux
comme la volonté de Dieu,
chuchotant des chants de la patrie.
