by Friedrich Hermann Frey (1839 - 1911), as Martin Greif

Donner hallen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Donner hallen,
Nebel wallen,
Auf dem alten Felsenpaß
Blitzt es ohne Unterlaß.

Ungeheuer
Ist das Feuer,
Das aus allen Wolken bricht,
Blau und purpurn flammt das Licht.

Donner riefen
In die Tiefen;
Aber Alles schweigt und ruht,
Keine Welle regt die Fluth.

Grün und böse
In's Getöse
Lauscht die Woge stumm hinauf,
Jetzo wühlt sie weiß sich auf.
