by Feodor Franz Ludwig Löwe (1816 - 1890)

O forsche nicht dem Grame nach
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O forsche nicht dem Grame nach,
Der dumpf in meiner Seele brütet! 
Leg' deine Hand mir aus das Haupt,
Und jeder Sturm hat ausgewüthet.

Und aus zerrißnen Wolken stralt
Des Mondes Antlitz ruhig nieder;
In meinem Innern ist es Nacht -- 
Doch eine stille Nacht ist wieder.
