Nun rauschet, nun brauset, Ihr Stürme durchs Feld, Durchflutet, durchsauset Des Waldes Gezelt! Im Sturm bin ich gangen Von der Liebsten hinaus, [Im Sturmesumfangen Einst kehr ich nach Haus!]1 Ihr Stürme wart Zeugen Am seligen Ort, Ihr tragt noch im Reigen Ihr liebendes Wort, Das Wort ist das meine, Ihr trugt es mir fort, Das Wort, ach das eine Das selige Wort!
Confirmed with Liederbuch von Otto Roquette. Stuttgart und Tübingen, J. G. Cotta'scher Verlag, 1852, p. 54.

Ye storms through the field, Ye flood through, ye roar through The canopy of the forest! I walked in a storm Out [and away] from my beloved, [In a stormy embrace I shall someday return home!]1 Ye storms were the witness At the blessed spot, In a roundelay ye still bear Her loving word, The word is mine, Ye carried it away from me, The word, ah, the one word, The blessed word!
1 Roquette's 1859 version: "Oh joyful embrace / In the roaring of a storm"
