L'orage
Language: French (Français)
Dans [sa]1 course brûlante,
Oh ! que la nuit est lente !
De sa lueur tremblante
Elle attriste l'amour.
J'entends gronder l'orage ;
Il trouble mon courage.
Ne reverront-ils pas le jour,
Mes yeux voilés de pleurs d'amour ?
[ ... ]
A. Spaeth sets stanza 1

Der Nachtsturm See base text
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Langsam schleichen Sekunden,
hält uns der Gram umwunden,
der in den nächtlichen Stunden
jede Ruhe verscheucht.
Bei wilder Stürme Brüllen
muss mich die Angst erfüllen,
dass nicht den Tag mehr schauen soll
mein Aug', von Liebestränen voll.
