Mässige Dich
 (Sung text for setting by O. von Samson-Himmelstiern)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Latin 
Wenn den Stamm bewegt der Wind,
Regt sich's Blatt am Baume;
Wenn dein Herz mich wahrhaft minnt,

Fällt herab die Blüthe;
Willst, ich sei dir hold gesinnt, 
Dich vor'm Stürmen hüte!
