by Cäsar Flaischlen (1864 - 1920)

Sei's Sturm! sei's! hier hast du mich!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sei's Sturm! sei's! hier hast du mich!
wettere mir in die Brust und brich,
was nicht stand hält, brichs zusammen
schonungslos!
rüttle, reiße, wie du kannst!
ich halt, ich lach, ich hab keine Angst!
ich will, ich mag nicht, was nicht feststeht!
und wenn es um den letzten Rest geht,
einerlei!
was nicht hält, ist Narretei!
Sinn hat nur, was sich bewährt!
und geht der ganze Kerl zum Teufel ...
war der ganze Kerl nichts wert!
