Das ist ein Brausen und Heulen,
Herbstnacht und Regen und Wind;
Wo mag wohl jetzo weilen
Mein armes, banges Kind?

Ich seh' sie am Fenster lehnen
Im einsamen Kämmerlein;
Das Auge gefüllt mit Tränen,
Starrt sie in die Nacht hinein.

    Set to music by Charles Tomlinson Griffes (1884 - 1920), "Das ist ein Brausen und Heulen", A. 9 (c1905-11) [ medium voice and piano ]
