by (Christian) Friedrich Hebbel (1813 - 1863)

Schilt nimmermehr die Stunde hart
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schilt nimmermehr die Stunde hart,
  Die fort von dir was Theures reißt; 
Sie schreitet durch die Gegenwart 
  Als ferner Zukunft dunkler Geist; 
Sie will dich vorbereiten, ernst, 
  Auf das, was unabwendbar droht, 
Damit du heut entbehren lernst, 
  Was morgen sicher raubt der Tod.
