by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Winterstille
Language: German (Deutsch) 
  Tiefblau das hohe Himmelszelt, 
So schimmerreich das weiße Feld, 
So klar der Berge Gipfel;
  Und wie so still die reine Luft, 
Still, wie sich's ruht in dunkler Gruft; 
Kein Hauch geht durch die Wipfel. --

  Nicht wie im Lenz der hastge Drang, 
Wenn Flur und Wald und Bergeshang 
Von lautem Jubel schallen; 
  Nicht wie im Herbst der Scheidegruß, 
So wehmuthsvoll, der einsam muß 
Im scharfen Wind verhallen. --

  So stille müßt's in dir auch sein, 
Schwieg' ein Mal deines Sehnens Pein 
Im ungestümen Herzen, 
  Und könntest du der Erde Lust 
Ob deinem Himmel in der Brust 
Vergessen und verschmerzen.

Confirmed with Liederbuch von Friedrich Oser, 1842-1874. Mit einem biographischen Verzeichnis der Componisten, Basel: Benno Schwabe, Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1875, pages 141-142.
