by Karl Ernst Knodt (1856 - 1917)

Vertrau
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Choose for Diff
Wenn an dem Firmamente
Ein Stern im Sturm zerfliegt,
Siehst du, dass dann die Erde
In tieferm Dunkel liegt? 

Ich sah schon hundert Sterne
Sterben in einer Nacht:
Doch jeden Abend funkelt
Noch ungezählte Pracht.

Vertrau -- wenn dir im Leben
Ein Stern im Sturm zergeht: 
Eine Ewigkeit in Sternen
Still über Stürmen steht.

Confirmed with Aus allen Augenblicken meines Lebens. Neue Gedichte von Karl Ernst Knodt, Mühleim an der Ruhr: K. Schimmelpfeng, 1902. Appears in Abend, page 225.
