by Hermann Löns (1866 - 1914)

Schwefelgelbe Blitze fahren 
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FIN
Schwefelgelbe Blitze fahren

durch die blaue Sommernacht,

knirschend sich die Buchen biegen

und es stöhnt und pfeift und kracht.


 
Und es kracht und knirscht und donnert

und die stärkste Buche liegt

mit den Wurzeln ausgerissen

vor mir wettersturmbesiegt.


 
Wie ein Wetter war die Stunde,

die mich brausend überwand,

als ich ohne Kraft und Willen

mich zu deinen Füßen fand.
