by Joseph, Freiherr von Hammer-Purgstall (1774 - 1856)

Morgenroth und Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nachtgreifer heißt das Morgenroth,
  Weil es die Nacht ergreift,
Und von dem Angesicht der Welt
  Die finstern Wolken streift.

In deinem Antlitz, deinen Brau'n 
  Ist Morgenroth und Nacht,
Was diese noch so feindlich drohn,
  Vergeht, wenn jenes lacht.
