by August Johannes Berens (b. 1843)

Wolken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wolken kommen, Wolken ziehen, 
Nebel vor der Sonne fliehen,
Und es schwinden Dampf und Rauch 
Vor des Windes leisem Hauch.

Also auch die Not enteilet,
Und das Elend sich zerteilet,
Wenn ein Hauch aus Gottes Mund 
Wehet durch der Seele Grund.

Confirmed with Frühlingsboten. Gedichte von August Berens, Verlag der Evangelischen Synode von Nord-Amerika, Hamburg: Agentur des Rauhen Haufes, 1889, page 35.
