by Friedrich Wilhelm Weber (1813 - 1894)

Finstre Nacht und kalter Regen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Finstre Nacht und kalter Regen,
Und der Wald erseufzt im Winde:
O ihr Stürme, wilde Wetter,
Wenn er lebt, o seid ihm linde!

Treibt sein Kiel auf dunkelm Meere
Über Klippen, über Schlünde,
All ihr Wasser, all ihr Wogen,
Wenn er lebt, o seid ihm linde!

Irrt er auf verlaßner Heide,
Suchend, wo er Obdach finde,
Führt ihn, all ihr guten Sterne,
Wenn er lebt, o seid ihm linde!

All ihr Engel, ihr, der reichen
Himmelsburgen Ingesinde,
Wo er ringe, wo er kämpfe,
Wo er sei, o seid ihm linde!
