by Theodor Storm (1817 - 1888)

In böser Stunde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein schwaches Stäbchen ist die Liebe,
Das deiner Jugend Rebe trägt,
Das wachsend bald der Baum des Lebens
Mit seinen Ästen selbst zerschlägt.

Und drängtest du mit ganzer Seele
Zu allerinnigstem Verein,
Du wirst am Ende doch, am Ende
Nur auf dir selbst gelassen sein.
