by Evdokiya Petrovna Grafinya Rostopchina (1812 - 1858)
Translation Singable translation by Friedrich Martin von Bodenstedt (1819 - 1892)

Weht es, heult es trüb und schaurig
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Russian (Русский) 
Weht es, heult es trüb und schaurig,
Dunkel ist die Nacht und kalt -
Und mein Herz, ach, ist so traurig,
Mich erdrückt des Grams Gewalt.

Trauer weckt es mir und Kummer
Herbstes Nah'n vorauszusehn,
Trauer auch, seh ich [im]2 Schlummer
Die Natur bei Sturmeswehn.

Alles aufersteht uns wieder,
Weckt der Frühling die Natur,
Und der Mai bringt Lust und Lieder,
Und es grünt [in]1 Wald und Flur.

Doch wenn unser Herz verblühte
Früh im Kampf mit dem Geschick -
Neues Glück und neue Blüthe
Bringt kein Frühling mehr zurück.
