by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)

Gestern stürmt's noch, und am Morgen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Gestern stürmt's noch, und am Morgen 
Blühet schon das ganze Land -- 
Will auch nicht für morgen sorgen,
Alles steht in Gottes Hand.

Putz' dich nur in Gold und Seiden:
In dem Felde über Nacht 
Engel Gott's die Lilien kleiden, 
Schöner als du 's je gedacht.

Sonn' dich auf des Lebens Gipfeln: 
Ueber deinem stolzen Haus 
Singt der Vogel in den Wipfeln, 
Schwingt sich über dich hinaus! 

Vögel nicht, noch Blumen sorgen, 
Hat doch jedes sein Gewand -- 
Wie so fröhlich rauscht der Morgen! 
Alles steht in Gottes Hand.
