Wie hat der Sturm zerrissen Des Himmels graues Kleid! Die Wolkenfetzen flattern Umher im mattem Streit. Und rothe Feuerflammen Ziehn zwischen ihnen hin. Das nenn' ich einen Morgen So recht nach meinem Sinn! Mein Herz sieht an dem Himmel Gemahlt sein eignes Bild - Es ist nichts als der Winter, Der Winter kalt und wild!

See how the storm has torn apart Heaven's grey cloak! Shreds of clouds flit about In weary strife. And fiery red flames Burst forth among them: This is what I call a morning Exactly to my liking! My heart sees its own image Painted in the sky It is nothing but winter, Winter, cold and savage!
