Translations available : ENG 


  Still ist's im Wald geworden,
Wo sonst so freudenvoll
Rings von den Tannenborden
Der Vögel Sang erscholl.
  Ach! soll kein Lied verschönen
Dem Lenz den frühen Tod?
Ach! will kein Klang mehr tönen
Mild in des Scheidens Noth?

  Nordsturm, komm! entblätt're die Bäume,
Welk sind alle Blumen schon,
Und es flieh'n die letzten Träume, 
Es verklinget der letzte Ton!
  Nordsturm, komm! und brause darein,  
Mach' ein Ende der Sterbenspein!

 ... 

  Kein Vöglein trifft die Weise,
Wie treu's auch blieb dem Wald:
Wie traurig auch und leise
Sein Sterbeslied erschallt.
  Der Sturm nur in den Wipfeln
Der weiss den rechten Ton:
Horch! wie's von allen Gipfeln
Im Chor erbrauset schon!

 ... 

  Nordsturm, komm! in das schweigende Grauen
Brich mit deinem Klagelaut,
Daß nicht länger wir müßen schauen 
Unbejammert die todte Braut!
  Nordsturm, komm! was zögerst du noch?
Brich, ach brich sie, die Stille, doch!

 ... 

  Der selbst die schönen Tage
Begleitet Schritt für Schritt,
Horch! wie in hehrer Klage
Nunmehr er trauert mit!
  Und wie er's muß verkünden
Mit bängstem Schmerzensschrei,
Daß, ach! in allen Gründen
Der Lenz, der Lenz vorbei!

 ... 

  Nordsturm, komm! und des Todes Schrecken
Decke bald mit blankem Schnee,
Kannst die Fluren du nicht mehr wecken,
Birg voll Mitleid doch ihr Weh! 
  Nordsturm, komm! und durch alles Graun, 
Laß zum Trost uns den Himmel schaun!
