O wie der Sturm so dunkel braust!

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

O wie der Sturm so dunkel braust!
Wir neigen ängstlich und zerzaust
Uns tief vor seiner schauerlichen Macht
Und bleiben zitternd wach die ganze Nacht.

Wenn wir morgen noch leben werden,
O wie wird dann der Himmel tagen
Und warme Luft und Geläut von Herden
Selige Wellen über uns schlagen!
