by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Nordsturm, komm! und entblättre rasch...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  [Nordsturm]1, komm! [und entblättre rasch]2 die Bäume,
Welk sind alle Blumen schon,
[Ach, es fliehen]3 die letzten Träume, 
Es verklinget der letzte Ton!
  [Nordsturm]4, komm! und brause darein,  
Mach' ein Ende der Sterbenspein! 

  [Nordsturm]1, komm! in das [schweigende]5 Grauen
Brich mit deinem Klagelaut,
[Daß nicht länger wir müßen]6 schauen 
Unbejammert die todte Braut!
  [Nordsturm]4, komm! was zögerst du noch?
Brich, ach brich sie, die Stille, doch! 

  [Nordsturm]1, komm! und des Todes [Schrecken]7
Decke bald mit blankem Schnee,
Kannst die Fluren du nicht mehr wecken,
Birg voll Mitleid doch ihr Weh! 
  [Nordsturm]4, komm! und durch alles Graun, 
Laß zum Trost uns den Himmel schaun!
