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, komm! und brause darein,  
Mach' ein Ende der Sterbenspein! 

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

  [Nordsturm]1, komm! und des Todes [Schrecken]6
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!
